Would these be good for sporting events?

In general I would say that the Bushnell Legacy WP 8x42 binoculars are good for just about anything. Not great, but very good. Very good for the current price of about $75 here at Amazon. To move up in all-around quality the Pentax 8x40 PCF WPII is currently selling for about $115. The Pentax are superior in every way but field of view in comparison to the Nikon 8x40 Action EX that are currently selling for about $150. If wide field of view is your major concern I would go with the Bushnell Legacy. If overall optical and build quality are most important then the Pentax might be worth the extra $40. To take it up another notch you might consider the roof prism style Carson 8x42 3D series with ED glass presently going for about $200 here at Amazon. Great all-around binocular for the price. For the money spent I don't think you can beat the Bushnell Legacy, the Pentax PCF WPII, or the Carson 3D.

I only use mine for playing basketball indoors, so I have no idea if they will hold up under the conditions you plan to subject them to. I find them to be great for indoor use.

I don't shoot sporting events, but I would think you would need a longer lens. I am not crazy about this lens because of chromatic aberration.

They would work well for that purpose. I returned mine because I wanted it for birding, and the bird needed to be too far away. But I did take it to one concert and found it worked very well.

Yes. I use these on a weekly basis to dj weddings. I've also used it at open mic nights and when my band plays.

I have never used them for watching racing before, but they do auto focus so its easy to follow moving items so I would assume they would work well for that.

Yes, but I have not tried for your specific sports requests. I expect it would work, but you will sweat in that area, as the material is not breath-able.You might want consider compression shorts instead. Ie, if you are doing these very active sports, you must not be hurting too bad already.

I have used them for beach tennis, I have notice that they are very ressistant, so I think they will be usefull for plattaform tennis to

Yes, we use them for concerts and theater events. Great for if you are sitting far from the action. Quite compact, but won't fit in a typical pants pocket. Could probably fit in a "cargo pants" pocket -- but, I hate cargo pants. Will fit in a light jacket pocket. Will easily fit in a pocketbook.

I would imagine they would work well for Nascar as the active noise reduction kicks in at a certain decibel level. You would still be able to hear talking and the auxiliary input would allow you to connect a radio for race updates.

I have these headphones and they seem to fall off my head easily. I would not recommend to use these while you play sports. I also highly doubt that they are sweat resistant.

They are not a sports toy. I wouldn't waste my money. I used them a couple of times. They were just not good. I threw them away after about 6 weeks.

Not really. They are of poor quality , light weigh. You would be well advised to go to something different.

I bought mine for football games, but I think they would be fine! I really enjoy using it for the games and have had no trouble with it! Enjoy!

Yes, these binoculars are excellent for sporting events because they are small, but still have very good clarity and zoom.
