I had been looking for a replacement of my lousy "car binoculars" and ended up getting the 8x25 version of the Eagle Optics Triumph line, mostly relying on the reviews found at the company website.

This is a roof model, whereas one finds reverse porros of the same name here in BF. I spent a bit more than I originally wanted, and the model is a bit larger than I would have preferred for the purpose. But I am now so much impressed by these new (to me) binoculars that I am very happy the way they are. For one, they feel very comfortable in my smallish hands. But most of all, I very much enjoy the view through them. I should say that my main binoculars are all of the "alpha" brands as they are often called here. Leica and Zeiss in my case. I have not tried to do a comparison with those as it's not the purpose of these glasses to see how they compare. I will use them when I don't have the others along, at least that is the original idea. However, so far I think they are doing so well that I could easily pack them up whenever I want a pair that is light, has close focus, and does not cost so much if it should get lost or damaged. In short, I'm very much surprised about the comfortable view I have, also when wearing my eyeglasses.
I tried to find some report of this model here on BF, but there does not seem to be much. Or else I did not find it. Anyway, that is why I started this thread. I'd be interested to read what others who know this model think about it. There may well be negative observations that I have not noticed yet, but at about 90$, this is a bargain I think.
