An earlier version of this very model was my personal daily binoculars for several years and they took a beating! I'd toss them in my bike's basket several times a week where they'd bounce around with my camera, keys, and other basket stuff. I'd carry them in a tote with other equipment. And I used them in all kinds of weather conditions, from frozen winter days back in Illinois to oppressive hot and humid summer days down here in Florida.
I did have a couple of small problems with them after a few years of use. The eyepieces were somewhat mis-aligned and the rubber on one of the eyepieces was starting to crack. The body hinge was very loose. They were still very usable but after a friendly email exchange with Minox I ended up sending in my bins for cleaning and repairs. To my shock and utter delight I received a brand new replacement pair back in the mail within two weeks. That's the kind of customer service you want in your binoculars. I highly recommend Minox and this particular model for avid birders. Be sure to check out the Amazon Lightning Deal later today on this great pair of binoculars!

This week's highlighted shirt design looks like an eyechart you might find at your eye doctor's office. The text on this chart design actually means something, though. It reads "I See Birds Everywhere I Go." I See Birds is shown here on a women's long sleeve tee in white.
