The Best Compact Zoom Binoculars by Hammacher Schlemmer are Highly Recommended by Whom You Know!
In tests conducted by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute, these compact binoculars delivered the best combination of image quality, ease of use, and durability. Analysts were able to clearly view eight of ten rows of an eye chart from 200' away using The Best model, but were only able to see five rows of the eye chart with lesser binoculars.
The Best Compact Zoom Binoculars had the easiest to adjust diopter and they were the only model with a tripod mount that's ideal for watching birds for extended periods.
In tests conducted by the Peachy Deegan Institute with Needs to See the Hockey Game Way Up in the Press Box, these did just the trick. We know a lot about hockey because we've been to a lot of games, but for the vast majority of those games we were fortunate enough to have great vantage points. You can't properly analyze a game without seeing it and these binoculars were the best if you are up in the nosebleeds! Also good for bird-watching we imagine, though our bird watching is limited to Penguins of the Pittsburgh persuasion (Sidney Crosby...you get the idea.)
Note if you wear gold eyeshadow like Peachy did, you will probably end up with it on the binoculars but it wipes off easily, have no fear.
The stats you should know:
In durability tests, the binoculars' lenses stayed fog-free in sub-freezing temperatures, and their grip-enhancing rubberized coating prevented damage after repeated drops from a height of 3'. The binoculars' 21mm objective lenses produce up to a 261' field of view at 1,000 yards and they have fully multi-coated lenses and a Bak-4 prism system, providing 8X to 16X magnification that remains sharp and bright at any distance. 2 1/4" H x 4 1/2" W x 4 1/2" D. (11 oz.)
