Review: Vortex quality and warranty - Vortex is a very well known quality product with an excellent lifetime warranty. This binocular can be used by youth as well as for adults. High quality for the money. The image is excellent for this price of binoculars. Great eye relief of 18.7mm--needed for those wearing eyeglasses. Focus is smooth and precise. Nice binoculars for backpacking, light weight for travel, well as at home viewing.
Review: THE choice for youth binoculars. Outstanding! - I have been an outdoor educator and bird watcher for over 18 years now, and one of my pet peeves has always been finding decent binoculars at a fair price for youth nature programs. I've worked at places that have bought useless toy binoculars that are worse than using toilet paper tubes, and cheap 10x25 pocket binoculars that have far too narrow a field of view for kids to use, are very dim, and have a tiny exit pupil. Both of these options are useless in the field and can turn kids off to using binoculars entirely. In other jobs in the past I got to research and buy binoculars for kids myself- ultimately going with the Vortex Raptor 8.5x32. These are actually quite good for kids as well, but the porro design makes them a little too big for little hands, they were more prone to damage and didn't feel as solid as I would have liked, and the 8.5 magnification was still a bit much for younger kids to handle. Not to mention the price point is higher than the Bantams. In short, as an outdoor educator working with kids, I have been desperately waiting for someone to make something like these Bantams for YEARS. I got to test a pair in the field yesterday, and I am shocked at the quality for the low price. I compared them side by side with my own 8x32 Sightron Blue Sky II (razor sharp bins that have a cult following), and the Bantams surprisingly held their own- they were sharp, bright, easy to focus, no noticeable chromatic abberation, and they feel like they're built like a tank (build quality was actually superior to the Sightrons as far as I can tell.) If I put on my adult birder/optics nerd hat and had to pick them apart, there was a little bit of a learning curve on getting the exit pupil (image) lined up with my eyes with the eye cups extended fully, and there was a slight "rolling ball" distortion at the edges of the image when scanning the landscape. That being said, I would absolutely take these birding myself and be quite happy with their performance. For adults, these are an awesome pair of car or travel binoculars, or would be excellent for any birders with shaky hands who lose too much sharpness with a 8x or 10x magnification. TLDR: Vortex hit an absolute grand slam for quality, rugged binoculars designed for youth at a price that's well below their performance level. They have no business being this good for the price. Now it's time to work 15-20 pairs into our 2026 budget!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice little kit.
*by L***Y on June 14, 2025*

So I found a pair of these on Ebay at a stupid good price and bought them for my daughter. Liked them so much I picked up another pair here on Amazon for myself. Just as a data point reference, I am 6ft 220lbs and am at the max interpupillary distance on these. Also, I own a silly amount high-ish end binos and these are not them. However, for a tenth of the price of some of my others, the viewing through these is 90% of those and are perfect for the glove box, as a loaner to someone without a pair or when you want super light weight and still have quality glass. 6.5x magnification is a sweet spot for edc. Oh yea, nice little pouch and sling provided. Vortex hit a homerun with these at this price point.
