    Vortex Razor UHD 8X32 and 10X32 Mid Size Binoculars

    What was the failure you or your friends had with a Razor UHD binocular? I haven’t heard of durability complaints of this series. The build quality on these tested binoculars was sturdy and inspired confidence in the hand, but of course only time will really tell.

    These are closer to a 14.5x than a 14x. The ergonomics are just very different than your typical 15x56.

    Vortex Razor UHD 8X32 and 10X32 Mid Size Binoculars

    Ha! You shouldn’t have to wait long! I generally prefer 8x in a 32mm objective as well, because I don’t have a brightness penalty over my usual 10x42. This particular 10x32, however, really started to win me over though because of the immense FOV and full-size “feel.” Other 10x32s are often...

    Vortex Razor UHD 8X32 and 10X32 Mid Size Binoculars

    The Vortex UHD (Ultra High Definition) line of binoculars recently expanded with the introduction of lighter, more compact 32mm models (8x32 and 10X32). I was able to take a deep look at them with a top competitor in the class, the Swarovski CL 10X30. Vortex Razor UHD 32mm Binoculars Review I...

    NEW! Kowa Prominar TSN-55A Review ***Updated 7/28/24***

    No need to swear ... ;) The ATC IS wider than the ATS. I assume you meant the 25-50 WA eyepiece on the ATS you compared. The linear FOV of the ATC is 186 ft. (17x) to 102 ft. (40x) at 1000 yards while the ATS with 25-50 is 126 ft. (25x) to 81 ft. (50x) at 1000 yards. Of course the ATC does...

    Maven S.3A Spotting Scope Review, By Matt Cashell

    The S.1A is a really good spotter. Given it is only 4.5 ounces heavier than the S.3, it would make sense for a lot of hunters. The S3 and S1.2A have the advantage of interchangeable eyepieces, so if you are looking for a reticle eyepiece to supplement your zoom, you will be better off with one...

    NEW! Kowa Prominar TSN-55A Review ***Updated 7/28/24***

    I don't have the Gen 1 for comparison, but I should be able to extrapolate some differences using my prior comparison with the ATC.

    NEW! Kowa Prominar TSN-55A Review ***Updated 7/28/24***

    I appreciate the work he went through to make this video, but there are real problems with this comparison. Particularly the contrast evaluation and misunderstanding of exit pupil vs. field of view. Also evaluating edge performance at a close distance will magnify the effects of field...

    T&K Hunting Gear Gaiter Review, By Matt Cashell

    I preferred the hardware on the outside so the clips didn’t have the chance to bang together when walking.

    T&K Hunting Gear Gaiter Review, By Matt Cashell

    The T and K have a standard 1000D Cordura fabric face. They are not silent like fleece, but they do quiet down a bit when broken in.

    T&K Hunting Gear Gaiter Review, By Matt Cashell

    There are two calf sizes available, M/L and L/XL. The cool part is there is enough Velcro to really customize the fit. Definitely go for the M/L if you have thinner calves.

    T&K Hunting Gear Gaiter Review, By Matt Cashell

    I have thrown away a pile of OR crocs over the years. I usually ran into the velcro closure at the toe delaminating within the season. I would shoe-goo it back to together, but then the velcro wouldn't stick, etc. Also, the fit is kind of weird on me and the strap buckle ends up so low on my...

    T&K Hunting Gear Gaiter Review, By Matt Cashell

    These things are burly. Ounce counters will probably stick with replacing lighter-duty gaiters every season or two, but gear abusers are really going to appreciate the durability of the T and Ks.
