I use a
compact binocular on a daily basis for
birding and general wildife viewing, but I also find a
compact binocular to be very useful for less glamorous applications. Over the weekend, I was pedaling in some unfamiliar parts of the city and put my
Nikon Premier LX10x25 to good use. This great compact binocular allowed my to read street signs well down the road, which I found to be very helpful while navigating. Definitely saved me a lot of pedaling. Also proved quite useful for scouting
traffic and road conditions, ahead. Then, too, should a hawk appear, I was more than ready.
