Vivitar, PV Series 8 x 22

I got a free pair of binoculars with my Marlboro miles about 10 years ago. Since then I've quit smoking but the binoculars remain.

They are made by Vivitar, PV Series 8 x 22. Our family have truly enjoyed having these around the house. They are a very small pair of binoculars that come with their own soft sided travel case. They are small enough that you don't mind taking them with you on your trips.

I'm sure if we had purchased one of those monstrously huge pair of binoculars, they would rarely leave the house. Every member of our family has used and abused this pair of binoculars and they still look brand new. They are solidly built and are very easy to hold.

Their shape and material work together to help you achieve a great grip. The center hinge is as tight as the day it arrived and the action is still smooth. The optics are excellent as well. We've used these at the Oregon coast on bright sunny days and the glare has never been a problem.

The view through these binoculars is sharp and clear. All in all, I would highly recommend these. Especially if you can get them for free.
