>>1517006Birder here - don't even bother with cheapo binoculars. They'll fall apart under the slightest abuse. I must have gone through 3-4 cheap sets before finally biting the bullet on pic related.
I've had them for 5+ years, dropped them more times than I can count, they've endured rain, 100+ degree weather, snow, you name it, and they're doing great. Highly recommend
