HUMVEE 20x50 Rubber Binocular with Anti-Reflective Red Lens

I purchased these binoculars for much more($49.95) then what they are on here but that was several years ago. I'm very happy with them to this day. The red anti reflective lenses work great and you get a nice crisp image when looking though them. I am purchasing a new pair for my dad at this price.

These binoculars are junk. At initial reaction they seemed good. After 18 months the focus is off. I have to close an eye to see through them. They will not adjust the focus for both eyes. I wish I could get a refund.

Junk

They are heavy and well constructed but the magnification is more like 10x50. I wanted that 20x mag. so it is three stars.

Great binoculars!

the lenses were misaligned so that I saw 2 images

These are not great binoculars. Alignment is so-so, focusing is mushy, resolution at more than about 50 yards is surprisingly bad (what, did the makers think you'd spend all your time looking at stuff on the other side of the yard?). Twenty power is more than you typically find on a binoculars of less than 80mm objective diameter, and there's a reason--the field of view is claustrophobic. It feels like looking down a long narrow tube instead of the usual "you are there" feeling you get with binoculars. Finally, they're heavy as heck. I have owned other 50mm binoculars, and these are beasts. I suppose that represents the Hummer ethos. There's a comparison to be made here to those lots full of Hummer SUVs that are not being sold while Japanese hybrids sell like hotcakes, but I'll let you figure it out.For some reason, the neck strap that came with these binoculars is really short. When I let it out as far as it will go, I still have to take my glasses off to the strap over my head.Oddly enough, I bought some radically cheap Vivitar 50mm binoculars recently just to noodle around with. They were so atrociously bad I ended up disassembling them and using some of the optical components in other projects. I couldn't help but notice that these "Humvee" binoculars came in identical packaging to the Vivitars, right down to the little resealable bag with the lens cleaning cloth and neck strap inside, and the material and plastic parts of the neck strap itself. The only difference in the whole package is the stuff printed on the box. The Humvees are more solidly built, in that some parts that were plastic on the Vivitars are metal on the Humvees, and they work better, but it still makes me wonder if these are just high-end Vivitars (i.e., barely functional trash, as opposed to regular Vivitars, which are non-functional trash) with a different name slapped on.These are not all bad--50mm is a lot of aperture and 20x is a lot of magnification. They do gather a lot of light, and the magnification is nice for some things. Star clusters look like clusters of stars instead of bits of fuzz. And these include a threaded well for attaching a tripod adapter, which was absent on the Vivitars. That's a nice feature that I will take advantage of, because holding these up gets tiring pretty quickly. So these aren't worthless...they just aren't very good.

I bought these on sale at Big 5 for $20. I tested about 10 binoculars on display, including much more expensive binoculars. These are great. I can see far with great clarity and definition. They're not too shaky either with the 20x50 specs. I had a chance to buy much more expensive binoculars, but they did not perform as well for me. I have to say that I don't have much experience with binoculars. However, the salesperson told me everybody's eyes are different, and thus different products work better for different people.As a side note, I also wear inexpensive snowboarding Smith goggles. It's not because I'm cheap, but rather because these goggles fit better than any expensive goggles I've tried. The moral of the story is that when it comes to binoculars, glasses, goggles, and other eye wear, everybody is different. What works for one person won't necessarily work for another person.
