I am going to an outdoor sporting event next month and everyone that I have talked to has said to take binoculars.....
not a chance that I am taking my 10X42 or 15X56 Swaros to pass around for others to Fhuqk up or drop, what is a good cheap mini bino that has fairly good optic's ????, last year I bought some Wallyworld cheapo's for a similar event and they were completely worthless

Those 6x binos are a very good suggestion if for no other reason than fov. Your 10x42’s wouldn’t be out of place depending on the sport that you are watching. I would never think of handing off my binos to someone who didn’t bring their own. Watching our Packer people the narrow fov of my Swarovski 10x25’s was a big limiting factor and there is a way better fov with my 8x32 Leica’s. Those little mini binos take a lot more hand eye coordination for anyone picking them up for the first few times and if your sport watching is fast moving, fov will be everything.

Kowa YF 6x30
They may be hard to find, last I looked most were out of stock, but the YF 8x30’s ain’t bad either.
Oh good,I see they’re back in stock.

Not being married to any particular political party sure makes it a lot easier to look at the world more objectively...
Having said that, MAGA.

Oh good,I see they’re back in stock. I bought some of these for my niece and nephew recently and snuck a peek through them before I wrapped them up. Now I want a pair for myself! They’re very easy to look through. Can’t imagine a better value.

I would look at the sightron blue sky 8x32s or even the 10x32 if wanting higher x's. The kowa is certainly a good suggestion as well. Arken may have something out there but haven't looked at their smaller offerings.
