Really impressed with the clarity on these binos.Not a big hunter so I hadn't invested in a 8×42/10×42.I have a nice pair of 10×28 that stay in my hiking pack and a monocular/spotting scope setup for range days.But I wanted something for either around the house or easy to grab and go. I had gotten my dad a set of Diamondback 8×42 for Christmas the previous year and wanted to try something different.Now I think he might end up "trading" me when I'm not looking.I really like the center diopter adjustment and the step up eyepieces. Little features like that really set a bino apart from the crowd.All the caps and neck strap included are a nice touch as well, especially if this is your first binocular. If I started using these more in the field, I would look into a Bino Harness.Overall, really happy with these GPO HD 10×42. The quality definitely matches the price, if not exceeds it.Glad to see another new name in the Optics game coming out of the gate with strong products.

Just received my new GPO 10x42HD binos. WOW. Been birding my entire life and have used most other European brands. I have to say the resolution, the fit to finish detail in how they are built, compared to the price on these binos is as good as you can get. Highly recommended, it's a first class product.

Overall fit and feel of product is spot on. Lighter than most comparable models. Images are crisp and clear with tremendous field of view. Mechanics of product is top quality which give you precise settings for both close and distant focusing. Compared to other optics both european and/or asian, these binos have much more to offer for what they retail at.

I just received these bios and was able to get out and look around some. My first impression is that the image is crystal clear and is a great value for what I paid for the unit. The fit and finish is awesome! I know GPO is rather new to the market but they sure have a great product here.

Great glass for affordable price. As a blue collar hunter I appreciate the price for great optics. I use binos all season from scouting early season to spotting elk during the season. If you are looking for great binos at an affordable price then try GPO.

These binos are really good but was disappointed with the lack of any hard copy instructions/information and objective covers included with the item. To be fair, I'll just say that objective covers are a pet peeve with me and a reflection of the attention of detail by the company. The objective covers were of the cheapest material I've ever seen and are totally useless. The Nikon and Leupold spares that I keep for visitors are in my humble opinion a much better value. For an ~$900 price point I expected much more.
