The harness straps are adjustable and made from heavy-duty elastic and the tension from the elastic adds stability when using the binocular and I found them very comfortable to use. The twist-up (helicoid) mechanism on these Carson 3D series binoculars is pretty smooth, but lacks any fixed intermediate stops which is a slight shame as this means that eyeglass wearers have less flexibility when it comes to adjusting the eye-relief to suit their exact needs.Carson Binoculars are built to last, with a durable, anti fog and waterproof design that can withstand even the toughest outdoor conditions. Also inside the case you will find a lens cleaning cloth and a fairly generic instruction booklet that includes details like adjusting the eyecups, how to properly attach the neck strap, the inter-pupillary adjustment, how to properly focus your binoculars, lens care and cleaning etc. Their maximum eye-relief of 16mm is also very good and even though they just miss out on making it on my list of long eye-relief binoculars, 16mm should be more than enough for most people who wear glasses.

One star off for the cheapo bag that these binoculars come with, and for the stiff hinges and focusing dials. These roof prism binoculars come in 5 different configurations ranging from the large 12x50 VP Series binoculars to a compact 10x25 model.

In my opinion, the depth of field for a binocular with a 10x magnification is about average as they were about the same as that of my control pair. Much easier to focus than my 10 x 42 Redfield Rebels that I use for hunting and they are only slightly bigger/heavier.But no matter how much light your binoculars gather, it is no good if that light is not passed onto your eyes ( transmittance) and this is where it is important to know that not all 10x42 binoculars are created equal as the performance of a pair of optics in poor light depends hugely on the quality of the glass and optical coatings and not just the exit pupil and twilight factor formula. These Carson binoculars use the helecoid twist up eyecups, that includes 3 fixed stopes to give you plenty of options to get the right amount of eye-relef for your needs. Looking at the specs on paper the only characteristic that seems average is the 315 foot field of view.
