A compact 'reverse' porro prism unit with a wide magnification range, the Simmons ProSport 8-17x25 Binocular is appropriate for use any time you need a diverse perspective from your binocular. It is a small optic, meant for bright daytime use, but can be quite useful from a rested position when trying to observe distant action like you would encounter in a boating race.
This version is rendered in black, and is delivered in clamshell packaging.

Comments about Simmons 8-17x25 ProSport Zoom Binocular (Black, Clamshell Packaging):
Bought these for close up wildlife watching. They're simple to operate, have clear view, and not so expensive that you cry if somebody drops them.
