Great value for kids or adults
I’m 36 years old. I bought these to keep handy instead of my larger, heavier, more expensive pair. Vortex may have intended the Bantam 6.5×32 for youth but they’re great for adults too.PROS: They produce a bright, clear image in average conditions, and have a nice field of view. The focus knob is very smooth; the diopter adjustment is acceptable. Construction is lightweight but solid. Accessories such as case, straps, and rainguard are quite good. And a lifetime warranty.CONS: Objects come into focus slowly so it can be a little difficult to find the ideal setting. The eye cups adjust to only two positions, and don’t exactly have a premium feel. The objective lens caps are not the most secure. All flaws I can live with given the price.It’s kind of amazing that you can have binoculars this good for $70. Before writing this review I took this humble device outside, looked up at the night sky and clearly saw the moons of Jupiter. Life is but a moment in this world of wonder. Don’t let anything obscure that from your view.

Great bino
Letâs light in when itâs dark, clear view and picture, light weight, good grip, easy to handle, worth the price, just an overall good glass and bino. Cant go wrong.

Good choice for Bowhunting/compact
Clarity and brightness are really good for the price. Only 14 oz and fit in hunting jacket pockets. Adjust focus easily with one hand. Good FOV 400 ft. Very good eye relief, and also does well with glasses. Eyecups are slightly smaller diameter and makes it a little more difficult to locate the sweet spot (near eyebrow), versus full size Diamondback HD. Bantams should be on your short list for compact binos for bowhunting. For another $100 the Diamondback HD 8×32 would be my next choice.

exceptional value for kid’s binoculars with one caveat
I bought this for my 11 year old son, who is still rather small. I use the Vortex Viper HD 8×42, and have been very pleased with the brand. I initially bought the Vortex Raptor 8.5×32, but these proved too large for his small hands so I passed them on to another family member. The new Bantams are the PERFECT size for smaller hands, but feel great even in mine! Very easy to adjust and focus. I am especially pleased that they included covers/rainguards for both the objective lenses and the eyepieces. The small case is absolutely fine, very nice quality, actually, given the low price. But, where I was most impressed was with image quality. Keep in mind, I am used to the $500 Viper HDs, but when I looked at the spines of books across the living room in low light levels, I was quite surprised at the clarity! Outdoors was more of the same. Really crisp, bright images, especially given the 32mm objectives. And the 6.5x oculars give enough magnification while providing a wider field of view, making it easier for youth/beginners to locate their viewing subject.Now, the one caveat: the near focusing distance is a minimum of about 12′ (around 3.5 meters). I suspect the physics of the size/lenses limited how close this could be, but it’s disappointing given how much my son (and I suspect other young nature lovers) enjoys looking at bugs, reptiles, amphibians, etc….. I.e., subjects that tend to be closer than 10′ when viewing them. For this reason, I plan to upgrade him to different Vortex binos as soon as he’s ready for a heavier pair.But, in summary, these are simply great for the money. If you’re looking for a great first pair of binoculars for a small child, especially for viewing birds and wildlife on hikes, this is really a stellar value. The price is unbeatable. The unconditional warranty is top in its class (free repairs or replacement even with no receipt or proof of purchase or box, etc); no need to worry about drops/spills/falls/accidents. The image quality is better than any other pair of youth binos we’ve tried. The feel in the hand and ease of focusing is great.Highly recommend these binoculars!

Good field of view and glass is above average
Really pleasantly surprised with the glass quality and rugged feel that these have, especially for the price. The size, eyepiece separation, and weight are just perfect for kids and petite adults. I’m a grown man and they’re uncomfortable for me to use, I could not glass with them for more than a few moments in a pinch, but they’re not for me. My daughter loves them and they don’t weigh her down. The lower magnification and generous FOV makes them effortless for her inexperienced eyes to go from naked-eye spotting to locating her target in the binos. Another well thought out and practically designed product from Vortex.
