These binoculars fold down to the size of a cell phone, yet they pack enough magnifying power (7x) to win the endorsement of the Audubon Society. The focal range is excellent — you can examine a butterfly four feet away or a red-tailed hawk soaring 400 feet above. They even feature soft eye cups for use with eyeglasses. Great for campers, birders, theatergoers and just about anyone else on your gift list!

Available in never-lose-them yellow

7 x 18 magnification

Coated glass optics

Sure-grip finish

I haven't had the binoculars long enought to establish more uses for them. I have used them for backyard birding and plan to keep them with me when I garden, out doing errands [I always seem to spot an interesting bird or other critter while I'm in the car] and for grandkid's activities and sports.
