Plastic binoculars: Practical and safe



A useful tool that's often overlooked, I've found that a good pair of binoculars can come in handy in a variety of situations. Whether it's for sports arena and theatre events, athletic games, outdoor activities, travel and tourism, or even tasks around the house, it's always a good idea to have a pair of plastic binoculars close at hand.

Lightweight and durable, plastic binoculars travel well. Stuff them into a backpack with your other gear and go-- hiking, hunting, fishing, camping, bird watching, star gazing, golfing, tennis, boating, even picnicking. Small pairs can be tucked into purses, coolers, or tote bags to ball games so you don't miss a pitch, or concerts, so you can see the star you've paid such high ticket prices to enjoy. With plastic, I don't have to worry that they'll get banged up in my bag, and I can carry them with the confidence that they won't bang up other items I'm carrying, so I don't have to sacrifice the benefits that comes with keen vision for practicality.

Stowing a pair in glove box or trunk of your car or on your boat will ensure you're always prepared-- for recreation and safety-- wherever your travels take you. Plastic won't rust or dent; a brightly colored pair will be easy to spot in dark or poorly-lit areas. I feel safer knowing that using my binoculars, I'm increasing my awareness of my surroundings and spotting trouble before it starts. Watch for coming storms or other boat traffic. Pull out your plastic binoculars to view the landscape from a scenic lookout, the beach from a coastal cliff, wildlife on land and in the ocean, or even the night sky out in the country or at sea.

Keep a pair of plastic binoculars around the house to aid in evaluating DIY projects and repairs. Can't quite see where that tangle of wires or pipes leads in your basement ceiling? I like to grab my binoculars to get a close up look when I can't get close: I look up at my chimney to do a quick check on the screens intended to keep animals out, examine gutters and drain leads, and do a visual check of the roof shingles, all from the safety of the ground.

Stuck inside on a rainy day with the kids? Pull out your plastic binoculars and start exploring! Plastic is perfect for inexperienced hands and kids love being able to find the unexpected in everyday objects. I feed my kids' natural curiosity with this decidedly low-tech gadget that's safe enough to allow them to test their own hypotheses.

When purchasing a pair of your own, look for the highest quality you can comfortably afford. If buying in person, test out your plastic binoculars before buying them. If buying online, use a retailer with an established reputation and look for other users' feedback. Regardless of where you make your purchase, make sure you understand the terms of the store's return policy (hey, you never know). Do the binoculars come with any accessories: a strap, carrying case, cloth for cleaning the lens? You might want each of these items, and buying them individually could add up quickly. Take care make your purchase carefully-- you may be finding yourself using those plastic binoculars useful than you ever imagined.
