Summary: Not as advertised by manufacturer
Review: The mfg website list these features (actual product)


1. multi coated rubicon lenses (fully coated)
2. illuminated red compass (simply not there)
3. waterproof (rubber coated-not waterproofed)

The actual product nor the literature states anything about the waterproofing, while the mfg website does. Moving past the disappointment over the "best features for the price" deal I thought I got, the binocs are ...ok. Feel good in the hands, diopter adjustment is firm, focusing is fast-details and images are bright and crisp. Near focus seems to be about 15 ft. Strap seems flimsy. The lens caps are not attached to the binocs themselves, so it's a matter of time till I lose them. They will be good for my light birdwatching, night sky viewing, and mountain vacations.
