“I really enjoy birding with these binoculars. They are a bit heavy, so if you have any upper body challenges, Maybe the 8x32 Viper HD is more your speed. The GlassPak is pretty good though I think I might upgrade to either the GlassPak Pro or buy an aftermarket harness that can also hold supplies like a first-aid kit. So if you’re a rough and tumble border you may want a bit more in terms of a carrier. The binocular is incredibly sharp from edge to edge. Totally worth the price”
