Athlon Optics Cronus 10x42 UHD Binocular for Adults and Kids, Waterproof, High Power Durable Binoculars for Bird Watching, Hunting, Concert, Sports

I was torn between going with the Leupold, Vortex or Athlon line of optics. My local stores don't have the selection they used to (thanks online shopping...). So I did some research and a lot of people liked these for a few reasons. I currently have a set of Vortex Diamondback 10x42 binoculars I wanted to upgrade. While they worked for what I did, I wanted something more clear and better definition. I can tell you these are most certainly a few steps up the rung. Until you are able to put them side by side, you would say they are similar. But once you look through the lower end stuff, and then look through these, it's amazing the differences you see. The colors are brighter and the image is more crisp and clear. For the range of the binos, these offer superior range compared to my Diamondbacks. I have not looked through the Razor line of binos before, but I can't imagine they are much better than these. (I have looked through the scopes, assuming they have similar glass between the two products). Overall, very happy with these and they aren't super heavy. They seem well built and should last me for as long as I need them to.

I have used this glass on two archery elk hunts, one 3rd season rifle elk hunt in pouring snow, an antelope hunt with extreme lows in the morning and sweaty days. These binos have performed flawlessly despite the temperature changes and through all the various conditions. What I really enjoyed was the edge clarity at the farther distances. Low light the image was fantastic. I won't go as far as to say it's comparable to very high end glass, because it isn't, but it really out punches its price point. Love these binos.
