Verified Purchase

Worked great!

We took these with us to the Grand Canyon and they were perfect for seeing closer views. For the price, I highly recommend. They are easy to focus and the lenses are clear.

Clear and vivid with details

These binoculars are amazing! They are very clear and easy to use. They are great for seeing distance. They are very vivid and allow you to see details. They come with a strap and a case and protective caps to cover the lenses to keep them protected. I’m so glad I got them!

Better than average

Overall, these are a good entry level set of binoculars. According to the documentation they are water and fog proof. Vision is clear and focuses well but does not have a UV or reflective coating. Good field of view and eye reliefs. Everything I would expect from a high end pair of binoculars for a fraction of the price.

Not for me

I got these to keep in the car just in case. I own 'decent' binoculars in the several hundred dollar range and I also own some compacts in the under $50 range. With my 60+ year old eyes, I have come to appreciate the better binos. But these National Geographic brand are among the most unpleasant binoculars that I have ever looked through. They gather good light and appear bright but there is just something weird looking through these. Its like the tubes don't line up right. My eyes struggle to smoothly merge the two images from the left and right tubes. I bend them at the hinge to adjust the interpupillary distance distance and there is a 'best' spot somewhere in the middle but it just never feels right. I'm not wearing glasses and the eye cups are screwed out as they should be. I tried screwing them in as well. The diopter is adjusted of course. Maybe younger eyes will do better but these are not worth keeping around for even occasional use.

Clear view and easy to use binoculars with case.

Finally received my National Geographic 10x binoculars and they're better than expected! The view is very clear and they feel sturdy and durable. They will come in very useful when i hunting and overall sight-seeing. The chest strap keeps them easily accessible for quick stop-and-look moments. The carrying case is also nice. I recommend these.

light weight, comfortable, easy to adjust.

These binoculars are great. I love how light weight they are. The focus wheel is easy to find and use one handed. There light weight nature made them comfortable to wear on the neck strap. I have never seen anything like the harness that came with them before. Great innovation for super comfortably carrying these around. The straps are both adjustable and elastic. The only thing that was a little awkward was the flapping lens covers. I ended up just pulling them off completely.

Great focusing

I love that this comes with a chest strap as well as the strap that goes around your neck. It gives you extra security so you wont lose them. I also love that not only can you adjust the focus by turning but also the lens telescope out.

Compact and comfy to wear

Compact and perfect for hiking. We love to bird watch on our daily walks. These binoculars are easy to use and easy to focus. Both of our kids enjoy looking through them as well. We would recommend to friends! It comes with a harness strap too!

National Geographic 10x42 Binocular

The National Geographic 10x42 Binocular is a great buy. They are the right size and easy for the grandkids to handle. I haven’t had them on the boat yet but took a trip to watch the eagles. Zooming in and out and focusing is simple. It comes with a strap and harness making it easy to carry.

Nice Binoculars

I really like these binoculars! I found them pretty easy to adjust and they’re waterproof/fog proof as well. They come with a storage bag, harness, straps and lens covers(a little flimsy, but still work good) I can’t wait to use them for birdwatching when it’s a little warmer out!
