Introduce the whole family to the voluminous world of birding with this high quality pair of Audubon Family binoculars crafted by Sheltered Wings. The full-size binoculars scarcely burden birdwatchers with the optics' minimal weight for a long day tramping through various terrains in the field. With an 8x magnification and a 40-mm lens diameter, the binoculars are ideal for scanning the sky and monitoring treetops, ponds, and brush for some of the feathered species John James Audubon documented by illustration in his classic 1838 book, The Birds of America. Sheltered Wings constructed the binoculars' body in durable fiberglass. For enhanced light transmission and accurate color at various times of the day, the lens have been precision ground and multi-coated. With a 12-mm distance between the eyepiece lens and the user's eye, the binoculars offer medium eye relief for obtaining a full view. The field of view encompasses 330 feet at 1000 yards with a 10-foot near focus for closer bird or insect observation. Users adjust the focus using a wheel located at the center of the binoculars. The binoculars come with a protective case and a broad neck strap for quick access in the outdoors. A limited lifetime warranty covers this item. The binoculars weigh 17-4/5 ounces and measure 6.1 by 7 by 2.3 inches. --Jessica Reuling

Very light, OK optics.:
I've had these binoculars for almost a decade and they are very light (about 17 oz.)and feel good in hand. The optics are OK, but there are better products around now for the same price. Look at Nikon and Pentax.
