How about telling us what binocular you use in the backcountry?



Nikon Medallion S 10x21. Work well for me.

It depends on whether you want magnification (day) or light-gathering
power (night). You can't have both unless you have a burro. A comet
was invisible to the 12x, and the moons of Jupiter, but easy for the big 7x.

That ( Light Gathering ) is a product of the size and quality of the
objective lens.
I use Bushnell and Tasco. Cheap and if they get lost I don't baul like
a baby.
I used a Karl Zeis set of biloculars belonging to an outfitter for one
of my hunting trips . If I was using them all the time I would shell
for the fabulous optics.
Cost will likely keep most from that level of quality.
