Alpen 625 Trail-Tec 8x28 Binoculars

    We're going to Alaska and Canada and want to see the wildlife close up, so a friend recommended these binoculars. We already own two 10X50 pair, but they are too bulky and heavy to take along. These are compact and relatively light weight; just what we need. As others have already said, the compass, thermometer, and time LCD should have either been left totally off the unit, because none of it works on ours either, or they should have been made correctly to actually work. That's not an issue, though, as we don't need those features. The binoculars themselves are a super buy and of much better optics and quality than I had expected. I'm very happy with my purchase.

    I bought these binoculars on discount with an eye towards getting a backup set of binoculars for use in a situation if I would damage my better ones (primarily for birdwatching). For the price, they were worth it. However, the built in digital compass does not work at all, so that was a letdown. Optical quality is decent, not fantastic or professional grade, but sufficient for general use. Construction is also OK.

            I was so happy to find the clock and the compass as added features on the binoculars! I plan to use them while hiking,and it will be helpful to have the extra help of the compass.

              Comments about Alpen 625 Trail-Tec 8x28 Binoculars:

              We use these binoculars for bird watching and at our grandsons' sporting events. We find them very clear very easy to use. They were advertised with three extra functions - thermometer, clock, and compass. Unfortunately, the thermometer function does not work and the glasses cannot be repaced because they are out of stock.

                Used during family bike rides to see countryside and wildlife. NEVER go to concerts without them. So easy to carry and great viewing. The extra features - compass - are amazing. The children have learned so much by using them.

                  THESE BINOCULARS WERE ORDERED AS A GIFT AND WE WERE SO SORRY WE DID NOT ORDER THEM FOR OURSELVES TOO..PERFECT FOR GENERAL SPORTS USE, A LITTLE WEIGHTY OR HEAVY IF YOU ARE PACKING OUT LIGHT BUT THE FEATURES MAKE UP FOR THE EXTRA WEIGHT BY REDUCING OTHER FEATURES YOU MIGHT NEED ON A LONG OR SHORT HIKE OR CAMPING TRIP. A COMPASS, A CLOCK, A THERMOMETER AND THE FOG FREE LENSES AND THEY ARE WATERPROOF. NO WORRY ABOUT THE GRANDKIDS DROPPING THESE BINOCULARS IN THE WATER.
