I have had these for a few weeks as replacement for my old simmons 8x25 bino's, what a difference hawke have done it again,crystal clear optics, super sharp focusing and fully waterproof.in the box you also get lense caps front and rear a nice neoprene strap, semi hard storage case and small cleaning cloth. The first outing for them was the deer rut in Exmoor, with typical October weather, dull and wet, so all the features got tested being fully waterproof prevented and misting and the low light performance is fantastic especially for the price band they are in, less than 200 quid you can't go wrong; the body is rubberised in a black of green finish which is grippy and hard wearing.
The only real negatives i could find was that the objective lense covers could do with being a couple of mm’s larger or a different material because they keep falling out - you don't lose them because they are attached to the body of the bino's it's just annoying. the other negative, it’s not a negative more me being picky, it would have been nice to get one of the larger black cleaning cloths like what come with the hawke rifle scopes.
Over all brilliant kit. would I buy again? Yes without doubt.
Available from most gun / outdoor shops.
