Not the 10's, but the 8.5's. I love my little HG's. They are great for what I use them for.

Great binos for the money. I only have one gripe about them and its pretty minor. The metal focus wheel rubs on my coat zipper and make a lot of noise

I have the 10X52s, not the 43s, they work well.

I have the 8.5's and have been very happy with them. Only knock is the field of view and the silver adjustment knob. I'll probably take a rattle can or a sharpy to the knob to fix that problem. On the latest versions the knobs are anodized dark gray.

Anyone here have any experience with them? Yep! Very nice units, light and bright.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

I have the 10x43 HG's. They work well, are very light and are efficient in low light. I haven't had them long enough to ascertain durability, which would be my only concern. The rubber armor is much softer than many.

I have the 8.5x43s. As others have posted, they are very nice; crystal clear out to the edges and bright.
