STEINER

NAVIGATOR PRO 7X50C

MODEL 7155

Steiner has a marvelous warranty, to which I can attest when the company agreed to take back my 25-year-old binoculars for repair without hesitation, or requiring receipts or warranty-registration cards.

IN THE BOX: The nylon padded case includes a neck strap, lens covers and neoprene neck strap for the binos. CONCLUSIONS: These got a “Wow!” from one tester the instant she raised them to her eyes. Once the separate oculars were focused, all testers could read the smallest letters on the bottom of the eye chart at 25 yards. In bright light the optics were clear, and the image was sharp at 100 yards. Perhaps a testament to the larger exit pupil and objective lens, the 7-power Steiners were capable of resolving line 7 of the Snellen chart. The compass is naturally and electrically illuminated, steady and easy to read. Even at their price point, they are a bargain for their optical quality and come with the most extreme waterproof rating of those we tested.
