Nikon Kikkerter MONARCH HG 10X30

I used these for a month on two treks in the Himalayas. With the MEC over shoulder strap, these binocs are easy to carry, and make comfortable travel binoculars. (The Nikon over shoulder straps have inconvenient clips). They gathered light better than expected, even in twilight conditions. With some 10 x binocs you can't hold them steady, but these were fine for birding and distant glassing.
