Went to Canadian Tire today to get a food vacuum sealer, and came back with this; Tasco's 10X Monocular. That happens to me often - go in looking for one thing, and come out with extras. Impulse I guess.
It was 19.99 - a steal for what you're getting. My philosophy of use here included the ability to see further, without the bulk and obvious 'look' of binoculars. I want to keep this in my get home bag, in the event that I need to see what's going on ahead - without looking too obvious about it. For instance, I don't want to paint myself as a target, but in the event of a long-term traffic jam or something like that - I could use the ability to see what's going on, up the road a ways.
It's little enough to forget about - fits evenly in my hand. It's light enough to just keep in the bag without any major issue at all. The glass isn't high-quality, let's get serious, I paid 20 bucks for it. It's 'good enough' as a tool that has it's use, and nothing more.
The image is crystal clear - it even came with a little microfiber cloth, that I keep in the included nylon case.
A good buy - would have multiple uses outdoors and on a bad day. Recommended.
