Pros:	Small, Light weight, Price
Cons:	For the price range - none

Overall, I feel it is one of the best Porros out there for the price range. The fact that is is small and lightweight should appeal to many who do not like heavy porros. For me it was too small and it felt like there wasn't enough for me to hang on to.

Optice were very good for the price range. I noticed some softness in the outer 10%-15% of the field of view, but overall they were very impressive and worth the money.

For a child, they would be excellent! For anyone who has small hands or is bothered by the size/weight of porros around your neck, this should be on your list to try. For a larger person with big hands, you may not like them.
