Leupold Gold Ring Binoculars

Leupold Gold Ring Binoculars – are they all they seem to be? After the recent posts about Leupold binoculars, it seems like a good idea to tell you about them with a little more detail. These are 10X32 and brown, rather than the typical black binoculars. The 10X means you see the object 10 times the size it is. The 32 means the size of the lens opening, 32 mm. You can see more about what these numbers mean here.

Gold Ring BinocularsThey are a good buy. Worth your cash and time. You will enjoy using them.

Well, they are made in America. That is nice. I have heard birders discussing how that is a genuine sales feature because so many binoculars are made in Austria. There is a little bit of  “home-boy” in each of us, I suppose.

Who uses them?
Birders, hunters, outdoors enthusiasts, security people, and more.

Naturally, as a beginning birder I carried my precious Leupold compact binoculars with me everywhere. My quest for lifelist birds had begun.

My binoculars were ever-ready. I saw and learned to identify several new species. Our group hiked several peaks in the Adirondacks. In the evenings there were programs to highlight the content of the day, so I learned about canoes, birds, binoculars and more. They taught me how to care for my binoculars and keep them protected from weather even though they were waterproof (as all Leupold binoculars are). I always carried mine inside my vest to protect them from drippy paddles and swinging branches when we went out in canoes.

I was amazed that Leupold Binoculars were favorites not only due to quality but also because they are MADE IN AMERICA. Read the rest of this entry »
