We purchased these binocs over 15 years ago. They have been thru some really nasty weather and roughs conditions while sailing (including the occasional drop). They are definitely rugged, and the optics are top notch. We tried many brands and these came out on top. Would definitely recommend.

I use these for hunting and bird watching. These perform the same in low light and night conditions as binoculars that cost twice as much. My only gripe is that they are heavy and the supplied neck strap grows tiresome on hikes.

We purchased the polaris model some nine years ago now. We used them on our ocean going boat while we travelled thousands of miles. these were cheap insurance. Many times we used the low light ability to ease our way along on treacherous routes. The field of view is broad, clear and well lit. Being our navigation tool of choice these binocs were treated without a great deal of respect. Dropped, wipped with salt stained rags and outside most of the time they have never failed to meet our needs. The only problem we had were the lens caps; the caps became loose as the rubber joint holding them to the glasses ripped out within a couple of years. But no big deal! We in fact rarely used the dang things any way as putting the caps on and off was way to much trouble so the fact that they came off just cemented the fact of them not being needed at all.

I highly recommend these glasses as solid, reliable, trouble free, able to take quite a beating and well worth the money. There are no better optics for practical use and the long eye relief allows glass wearers to use them easily. The fujinon polaris literally saved our lives on one occasion and I am proud to own them.

I have used it mainly for sailing. The clarity and resolution is unbelievable. Its good in difficult lightconditions - for example finding your way into a harbour late in the evening, but also watching objects in very strong sunlight which without the binocular would appear as black silhuettes (waypoints with certain colours etc.).



If you consider bying this binocular - remember that you have to focus each eyepiece - which is making it unsuitable for watching objects close to you - birds insect etc - because in those situations you need to focus often. Its is good for everything more than 20 meters away because then no focus is needed after you find the right adjustment once and for all. If you consider buying with built-in compas, remember that the compas limits the size of the picture by 1/3 in the left side of the field. And you might regret throwing away some of the fantastic clarity this binocular provides.



I have nothing bad to say about this binocular - but my wife complains about its weight.
