The Celestron 71102 Outland LX 10 x 50 waterproof binoculars are built to withstand the elements. Great for boaters and hunters, but well-suited to any sport or nature activity in which you might face rain, sleet or fog, the Outland LX Waterproof Series takes Celestron's popular Outland series to an even higher performance level. The Outland LX features fully multi-coated optics, extreme near focus, and a four-element objective lens for ultra sharp focus across the field of view. With nitrogen-filled and sealed bodies and a protective rubber covering, all Outland LX models are waterproof as well as fog proof.
The Celestron 71102 features a 10x magnification and an objective lens diameter of 50 millimeters, giving it a 5-millimeter exit pupil. (The exit pupil size--the diameter of the objective lens divided by the magnification--determines the amount of light available to your eye. The larger the exit pupil, the brighter the image obtained will be. A three-millimeter exit pupil is generally sufficient for daytime use, five-millimeters is suitable for daytime and twilight, and seven-millimeters is generally necessary for maximum nighttime or astronomy use.) All Outland LX models also come with Celestron's No Fault Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Completely satisfied
Satisfyingly solid, pin-sharp focus, smooth moving parts. The Celestron binoculars are priced very competitively, but seem to be very well made. I wanted a reasonably priced pair of general use binocs, but I think I may turn around and by a pair of the 10x42's to take hunting--they are that good!
Could not get replacement for defective pair
I bought and returned a pair of these Celestron 10x50. There was some gunk on the inside of the left eyepiece. I returned these to the seller (Optics Planet) after they told me they had three pair in stock (even though this is a discontinued model) and they told me they would replace them. After I sent them back, they emailed me that they did not have them and could not replace. Very irritating, as I could have sent them to Celestron to be repaired if I still had them. Other than the gunk on the eyepiece, the Celestrons were well built with good optics, comparable to the Nikon Action Extreme I got instead of these.
