Would you recommend them on a boat. Sailboat. Do they fog up? How are they with objects at 1 mile?

I'm a sailor as well. I haven't taken these on a boat, but I've used my older Nikons (1970's) on a boat for years with no problem. That said, if I were paranoid about it and could afford it, I'd buy a waterproof pair.

honestly cant tell you. they dont fog up much just sitting there at lights and such so I think they might be fine

yes they are waterproof to a point.. I have sank this one. it dryed and still runs. It will stop if the batt plugs get wet. This a awesome boat!!!! buy it. you will love it. The charger it comes with is junk. Get a "Losi mini peak charger". It will burn up motors if it does not have small vent holes. Heat seems WAY more dangerous than Wet on these newer boats. I even put a 30x30x10 fan in my boat. well over 1.5 years and 100 runs!! keep it cool!!- cheers, Curtis

Pretty much just like they say they will - they will decrease time to plane, they will increase stability and reduce porpoising. I only have an 18" boat so the effect may be slightly less than on yours. But I'm totally happy with them. A lot of bang for ya buck.

I had them installed on my boat last season. They're not the brightest lights, but you wont find anything similar at this price range. Buy them, you wont regret.

They have better than average low light vision, but you will need at least a dim light for a viewable image. They do have a day/night mode and do see IR light. The seams are quite tight and there are no obvious openings for water, so look as though would be fine outdoors.

I use mine for viewing the skies in the backyard, I doubt if they'd be too strong. For me the price was right and wish they were a little stronger than they are , good luck & wish I had boats to look at

No they do not, I use them with a half helmet and yes they do fog however the wind from riding will casue them to defog.

I bought these for a 16 foot boat while drifting in wind. Using one or two in the current may keep you steady but I would probably opt for a larger size. my experience is limited to 16 to 20 foot boats.

I have not had trouble with them on bad weather days, but I did not let them get wet either. The Action Extremes have more eye relief so water vapor from your eye does not fog the outside of the cold eyepiece. You breath can fog it too if you are wearing a ski mask.

When sitting still they will fog a little. When you are moving they stay clear.

Yes these will up to around 20 miles and have a great imagine for them as well. For the price couldn't ask for a better set of binoculars . Work well at night from the wheelhouse of your vessel. Only part I had a hard time with is the range formula to give range with them.

Realistically anything past a quarter of one mile will be luck. Using them in a desert/lake environment (some small tress and hills) that is the best they could do. Even in a clear line of sight we never achieved much more than the 1/4 miles without distortion.

I bought them for my parents. Dad said he forgot to use them, but hasn't had a problem with fog. So I am not sure.

I put two of these in the hatches of my 30 foot sailboat last summer. They have worked quite well for the season they have been installed. They did see quite a bit of rough weather and seawater without leaking or incident. I don

I have not had the opportunity to check them out in inclement weather,so I am not sure. give that they do not explicitly state anything about that,I would be sceptical of using them out side when it's raining. But I can say that they are optically very good. I would suggest that you use a tripod or other steadying device if you intend to view objects for an extended length of time.

Very good. I am a skier and used them on foggy days in the mountains. It saved me a lot of money I would spend on special ski gogles.
