He wondered how do they hold up? I had no experience with Kahles but figured I could get some real world feedback here!

Thanks

Willys:

I have owned a pair of the Kahles 8x42 and was well satisfied. They are a good value in the midrange optic area.
I would prefer these over some of the Chinese clone bins that are now being promoted. As they are Austrian made and quality all the way. But optically they are a step below the Swarovski in brightness, etc. Good optics, yes, I would
recommend them.
