 Far Superior to My Previous Binoculars Jan 24, 2008
By H. Arnold
I bought these to replace a cheap $20 pair of binoculars that were stolen out of my car. The thief did me a big favor. He can ruin his vision with those old binoculars. My new Nikons are far superior. They have a much sharper image, are easier to focus and they hold their focus. They also feel comfortable in my hands. At $73 and free shipping you can't go wrong. They also include a nice nylon case and neck strap. BTW, I debated on whether to go with the 10X power (i.e. 10x25) binoculars and I'm glad that I didn't. The 8X binoculars are more than powerful enough for concerts and sporting events. The higher the power, the harder it is to hold the image steady and the narrower the field of view. More isn't always better.

Light, bright, and right Dec 02, 2008
By Grant Brummett
Introduction:
I already own Nikon Action 8 x 40 Binoculars that work really well and are in the same price range as these Travelite binoculars. BUT! The Action 8 x 40's are way too big and way too heavy and I found myself not carrying them outside the house much. I needed a smaller, lighter pair to travel with that could fit in my pockets. So I went to several different stores and tried a lot of different smaller lower weight binoculars some costing almost $1,000.
But I kept coming back to these Nikon Travelite's and so went home and ordered them from Amazon.com for the best price and no taxes.
Review:
Here's what I love about these binoculars:
I love the way they fit in my hands like a natural extension of my body.
I love the way without glasses my eyes sit inside the cups shielding them from external light
I love the way I can still see pretty good even with my glasses on
I love the way they resolve detail with great contrast, colors and sharpness
I love the way I can hold them up for hours to my eyes looking for birds without straining my back and arms.
I love the way with several different binoculars present people always want to borrow these.
I love the way the focus adjustment wheel fits my hand and works perfectly
I love the way they are small enough to fit into my pockets but large enough to work.
I love the precision high quality feel you would expect on a much more expensive pair of binoculars
And of course I love the price.
Regrets:
They aren't waterproof / resistant.
Cheap eyepiece caps are too easy to lose and no end caps
Verdict:
Buy them you will probably love them and if you don't someone you know will!
In the end binoculars are a highly individual thing and you should go to an actual store and try out as many different ones as possible before going home and then ordering from Amazon.com. That's what I did and that's why I bought these Nikon Travelite 8 x 25 binoculars. If you want something in the same price range but even brighter, bigger and heavier try the Nikon Action 8 x 40 Binoculars
02-08-2008 Update:
Still loving these binoculars, have lost one eye piece cover now but other then that no problems even after letting lots of other people borrow them including kids.

Superior optics, excellent construction - very lightweight! Sep 20, 2007
By Douglas J. Love
I've been an avid Nikon user for over 30 years, but had never purchased a decent set of binoculars before - THESE ARE AMAZING - especially for the price. Lightweight, but feel good in the hands. Very bright and easy to focus. I'm really impressed.

Stellar Choice Jun 06, 2008
By S. M. Griffin
I bought these to take to Africa on safari. They are incredibly easy to hold steady, focus and produce an image that staggered me in its sharpness. They are so light you almost don't know they are there. I also own a pair of Zeiss 10X50,they are nice but very heavy and I would rather have my Nikon binocs any day. Great product at a great price.

great well priced binoculars Apr 21, 2008
By Elizabeth S. Thomas
I purchased these binoculars because they were rated a best buy by consumer reports. They have lived up to my expectations. I use them for bird watching and the image is clear and easy to focus. I also like the fact that they are light weight and easy to carry. I have used them everyday since they arrived. I would recommend them to all birdwatchers.
