i got some in october and i love them, so long as i don't breath on them in the rain they haven't fogged up on me. they are very clear and seem to work good in low light, i can count points of bucks at my feeder when i can only see movement with the naked eye. they are as good as i was hoping for.

they are slightly larger than the swarkoskis a buddy has but they are about 1/4 of the price too.

I bought a pair probably 6-7 years ago and I LOVE them. They fog up during rain, but I am pretty sure all binoculars will. I have dropped mine a few times on the ground and once into some water and there is nothing wrong with them. Well worth the money IMO.

One Shot.. No sir they don't all fog up in the rain.

I have the 8x42s and love them.

I had the 10X42 last year and loved them. Have the 12X this year and like them even better (old eyes).

Agreed; go one up on the Nikopn list; fog proof ; mine are great I just have to be careful when I breath.LOL

If they fog up sent them Back nikon has a new no fault guarantee.

If you drive over them they now replace them free

Write a nice lettr ad include your address and see what happens

Four years ago when I bought mine they were/are they best $300 binoculars on the market, IMO.

I like mine! Great light gathering in low light conditions, lightweight and compact. I haven't experienced the fogging that others speak of, maybe because they are new this season...

I am pretty abusive with my binoculars. The first pair I had busted, boxed them up and sent them back. No questions asked and a new pair arrived shortly there after. The pair I have now has a rattle that comes and goes but doesn’t seem to affect the clarity.

For deer hunting in Texas and 3-D they work just fine. If you are going to hunt anything out of state that will require extended usage I would fork over the cash on a pair of high dollar binoculars only because you will develop a headache after extended glassing.

For the money they are a good buy.

I have the Nikon 10x42's and love them, mine have never fogged up, guess that means mine are sealed correctly...

Love mine. No fog. Great buy for the money. Mine have withstood loads of use in all weather.

Let me correct myself.......I assumed when I read "fog up" that we were talking about fogging up on the outside of the lens like during a rain. Mine have never fogged up inside though.
