Review: At $75 these Nikon Trailblazers may just be the Best Bang For Your Buck in the Compact Universe! - I will start with the most important thing where binoculars are concerned. The glass in the Trailblazers is Made in Japan, not China. Japan makes some of the best optics on Earth at a competitive price just about anyone can afford if they want value for their money. While it is true the Trailblazers are put together in China the glass is world class. I find them to be great all-around compact binoculars perfect for hiking or simply having at hand no matter what one wants a better look at. The glove compartment is ideal in my opinion. The Trailblazer binoculars are great for hiking, fishing, ball games, the Moon, and so on. While solidly built they are still relatively light. Much lighter than full size binoculars and easy to stash in a pocket. If you are not sold then my best advice would be to spend about $300 to $350 on a pair of Zeiss Terra ED compact binoculars. Both binocular lines are at the top of their class.... One thing I should add... Smaller Binoculars can be a little more difficult at first than larger binoculars to find the sweet spot for your eyes to fully benefit from them. Try going to extremes .. fully spread, then compare the view with less and less spread. Turn the eyepieces from short to long and just play with the glasses for a while and you will probably find the sweet spot for your face and eyes. Every time I have ever done this it may have taken a while but when I find the right adjustments it is definitely worth the time IMO, no matter which binoculars you buy. Happy Birding!
Review: Great binoculars. For the price, almost unbelievable. - Used to be a serious birdwatcher, but I'm getting into ultralight backpacking recently, still want to take binoculars with me as my luxury/heavy item. As someone who had gotten used to $650 binoculars, I was dreading what I thought would be an inevitable drop in optical quality when switching to an ultralight model. I was amazed at the optical quality on this light, tiny, fogproof/waterproof pair of binoculars. Crisp image, good light collecting in darker conditions. At the price point, I feel like anyone who wants to lighten their load should not hesitate to get a pair. Only issues are the eyepiece lens caps absolutely suck. They aren't sized right or the material is too smooth. I put a small strip of duct tape on the insides of the rim of they lens caps and that made the friction good enough for them to stay in place quite firmly. There are no front caps. The focus knob is small and slow compared to a more expensive binocular, so not great if you're trying to do high-powered/fast moving birding with lots of refocusing. I hope to test these out agains the Papilio series, but those are not fogproof/waterproof (which usually correlates with dust vulnerability as well).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: DO they fold?**
A: Yes, they fold to 2 5/8 inches by 4 1/8 inches; when open, they are about 4 1/4 inches by 4 1/8 inches. I recommend them--they are sharp and good for travel.

**Q: Anyone know why someone should choose these over the same ones but in 10x25?**
A: The answer that the 8X binos are easier to hold steady than the 10X model is spot on,  However, there are several other reasons to go with the lower magnification if one does not have a good pair of 8X ones.

Avery important consideration is field of view.  The 8XS have an 8.2 degree FOV whereas the 10X FOV is 6.5 degrees, giving the 8X 25% larger linear dimension.  What is rarely mentioned is the viewable area - 57% larger (square there linear ratio) using the 8X binos.  When in close quarters or trying to follow flying birds (especially swallows & swifts) the extra area is particularly important.  Another consideration is image brightness.  Given the same objective lens size, the 8X binos will deliver 56% more light to the user's eyes.  In well lit locations & using large objectives this isn't a huge issue.  However, here we have 25 mm objectives.  If one is using these on a sunny day but looking into a shaded area the price paid in lower brightness using the 10X glass will be a large one.  There are legitimate uses for higher power binoculars, but almost everyone will benefit by choosing 8X or even lower for their first set.  Add higher power if you use the binos in varied situations, but please don't start with them.

**Q: What kind of strap does this come with? Is it the nikon embroidered one?**
A: Deanna .. the strap that comes with the Nikon is pretty much a standard black webbing strap about 5/8 inch wide in the area that would go around your neck and has a Nikon label on one end.  I would say a minimal but functional strap.  The binoculars are really great, I did a lot of research and comparison before getting them and I am 100% satisfied.  I am an older guy and now in a wheelchair and one of the considerations was a small but high quality pair that I could easily hold and focus with one hand and these are perfect.  Hope this helps.Steve

**Q: what lens cover do u guys got? i received with only eye lens cover. no object lense cover**
A: same here.

*by K***X on October 7, 2025*

Perform all out of expectation for their size and cost. Outstanding clarity and brightness. Only sacrifice field of view. Solid construction. Without the case they fit in a pocket. My wife and I avid bird watchers. We each carry these as unexpected opportunity binoculars. Not our primary binoculars, but great traveling and convenience binoculars. Super value.
