Optics for kiddos starting out

Recommended Posts

I’m looking into buying some binos for my kids to use to teach them how to glass from a tripod. I’m more worried about eye cups coming close enough together for them to see out of both eyes easily. 
 

Any suggestions or thoughts?
 

Thanks,

Kurt

I was thinking about Vortex. I imagine they will get dropped from time to time, so the warranty might come in handy. Ages are 7 & 10.

Never looked in to kids sizes but see if you can find a harness for them so they're not getting dropped and more comfortable than a neck strap so they'll actually wear it

Great idea! I think marsupial makes a youth harness.

Vortex diamondback are great for kids, not too pricey but also good "enough". Bit if the budget suits you get them vipers which are slightly better.

I personally use a set of Gen1 Vortex Diamondback 8x42s on my chest for general purpose glassing, and keep a set of 15s in my pack for the distance and glassing sessions.
