How would these be for safari? Are they heavy? Thanks

For a man these would be easy to wear around neck after awhile....for a woman I believe they would be a little too heavy after awhile..... I tried to weigh them on my scales but they wouldn't register. My daughter loves them! Hope this helped you.

They are not too heavy! They seem to have done the job for us on our hunting trips. Hope that this helps!

I thnk you can find lighter binoculars. I have a pair of NIKON that are by far my favorite.

In my humble opinion these are take the kid to the beach binoculars, the only thing right about them is the price. Going on safari, in Africa I presume, demands a bit more research. There are 8x or 10x by 42 that are just better, and they are smaller. A bit more money perhaps but worth it. Vortex, Nikon, Celestron to name a few.

They are not heavy at all. I wear these with or without socks. They are very comfortable and fold in half for packing.

We took them on a 10-day African Safari and they worked great. Amazingly clear sharp images. Lots of bouncing around on dirt roads. Never rained so can't comment on waterproofing.

Hi Jacqueline,That's a matter of individual perspective. I would not think that they're much heavier than a regular coffee mug - if at all. And they are certainly not fragile. I don't think anyone will notice a difference in weight. ENJOY!

Sorry, I am just using them for extra clothes. Asking about the weight would probably generate an answer if someone knew more about what you wanted to use them for.

I wouldn't say that they feel heavy over time, however the pressure on your ears becomes tiring on long trips. If you think that would bother you, then I think your best bet would be to get a set that completely cover your ears unlike these which sit directly on them. Other than that, these are great. I use them all the time when I travel.

They are normal size binoculars and are not very heavy. If, you want more lightweight ones, these may not be right for you. Also you need to hold them very steady as they are very sensitive to movement. Or you need a tripod.

They seem like heavyweight to me and could be used a few times. Not sure how heavy you want it. They are like what you find in the store.

They are pretty heavy. Way heavier than an aerospoke. But they are magnesium. Great for polo or the hard streets.

Remember they are aluminum. ........... quite sturdy and heavy enough for aluminum.

They're fine although they could be a bit wider to fill out the shoulders of a large men's shirt. I've taken these to Asia and Europe and they're so light I don't think about the added weight.

Hello! I purchased mine ages ago, and still going strong. They are quite thick but not heavy. Have come in great use at our house.

Yes, It is a good bit heavier than the plastic Safari. It's also heavier if you post the cap on the end when you write. To me it feels perfect with the cap posted, although to some this might be a bit too heavy. Overall it's a very substantial pen and you won't be disappointed!

I really can't answer your question. I bought them for a gift. I do know they are light weight. I also purchased the strap that was advertised with it. They were very happy I included it in their gift. I hope this helps you to make your decision.

Sorry to take so long in responding. I would call these medium weight. They seem good and sturdy.

Weight should be available on Amazon, but they are amazingly light. Length depends on your height--supplier needs to know your height and they adjust accordingly. If I remember correctly they sent me an email requesting my height. These are very light--Iwas simply delighted at their weight. This summer I took these backpacking. I have always used some staff (home made, wooden) or the adjustable aluminum ones. In either case, I would frequently find myself simply carrying it rather than using it. These are so light, I forget I'm using them.
