I arrived in Canada on holiday only to fin that I had forgotten to pack my binoculars, a disaster for a big bird/wildlife watching fan like myself. I have a high end pair of binoculars and although I could not afford to replace them, I needed a good replacement pair to use on the holiday.

I went on a quest for new binoculars and tried dozens of pairs in every store I could find and after many comparisons these are the ones I picked because they are, for my needs, the best in terms of cost vs size vs performance.
