Good for hiking - the binoculars were light enough to carry all day without even noticing that they were there. I purchased the Nikon ProStaff 9X25 just a few weeks before the Olympus 8X21. The Nikon has a better "feel," is easier for me to focus and hold steady, and it is waterproof. from Telescopes.com My first set of binoculars cost me seven and on-half days pay. that was many years ago. The 8x21 RCI Outback are the first set's equal in every way as far as viewing goes. It's durability? from Telescopes.com I purchased these for use as "opera glasses" rather than for field use. Their light weight (6 oz) makes them easily portable even in a light jacket, though the case comes with a pass-through for attaching to a belt. The clarity and ease of use is typical for Olympus (and above average overall). Next year my sister and her family are going to Africa, and they will be taking them on safari. from Amazon.com The Olympus Outback 8x21 RC1 Binoculars were highly rated by Consumer Reports and for the price, under $50, you cannot go wrong. These are quite bright, comfortable for those of us who wear glasses, can be adjusted for difference between left and right eyes, easy to focus and view through, have a close focus of about 10 to 11 feet, come with case and neck strap, and are quite compact. from Amazon.com The Outback RC1 binocular was purchased for a recent trip to Alaska, where I cared not to carry heavier Nikon's I own. The RC1 is lightweight, but not cheap looking. from Amazon.com Olympus Outback 10x21 RC1 Binoculars Excellent product. Lived up to recommendation in leading consumer magazine. from Amazon.com Very light and compact, and they work quite well. I've had larger binoculars in the past that are heavy and clunky - and it seemed I could never see well with them using both eyes at once. The Olympus Outback 8x21 binoculars work well, are not tricky to use, and are easy to take anywhere. from Amazon.com I was well-satisfied with my purchase of the Olympus Outback RC1 binoculars. The price was reasonable, and the quality of the product is excellent. from Amazon.com The small size allows me to pack them in a corner of my camera bag. After trying out my pair, my neighbors are buying multiple units, some for themselves and others for gifts. A typical Olympus product; superior optics and light weight with low price as a bonus. from Amazon.com the nikon has a better "feel," is easier for me to focus and hold steady, and it is waterproof. from Telescopes.com
