Celestron Outland LX 10x42 Waterproof Binoculars: Customer Reviews & Product Details

This review concerns shipping and packaging of the Celestraon Outland Binoculars I ordered..When the item arrived there was no bubble wrap or other type of packaging to keep the item from moving around in the container. In additon, the box that contained the binoculars was NOT sealed. Since this is a gift I was very concerned if there was any damgage incurred. I plan to present the gift as a birthday present in June. My question is, if what I described is normal shipping procedures. I won't know if there was any damage until the bincoculars are used.. However, I have to say I was disappointed in the way the item was packaged as it was completely unprotected.

We own several pairs of larger binoculars. We are very pleased with these small light weight ones. They are very clear and sharp. Great for bird watching.

I have several pairs of binoculars. Outland LX 10X42 has a very wide view for a 10X power binocular. Close focus is closer than most other 10X42mm binoculars. These binoculars are high quality with the BAK4 prisms.I have 3 smaller 21mm 22mm & 24mm compact binoculars, with these Outland 42mm medium sized binoculars I rarely use the others. I think you will agree!
I mostely like to view birds and wildlife with these.

I have two pairs of these binoculars as well as a pair of the Outland LX 8x42. I prefer the 10x42 and my husband prefers the 8x42 but both like to use both pairs. The twist up eyecups are a huge benefit whether or not you wear eyeglasses. The are not too heavy and being water proof, even if you do not use them near water it is a plus due to moisture etc. Be sure to twist down the eyecuyps when not using them since if you drop them with the eyecups up and then land on that end it will bend the edge. Even so, I bought myself a second pair because I like them so much.
