Default opinion on binoculars

need opinion on the Leupold wind river mesa 10x23 compact binoculars. I know there not the top of the line Leupolds but are they any better than the similar style's by simmons our bushnell ?

No. For the money, go with the Leupolds.

Like most other things, you get what you pay for. This is especially true with optics. Leupold makes a good binocular. I would consider getting a larger binocular. A 10x28 will not give you the comfort and image quality of a larger objective lens. Also, it's low light capabilities are poor. 10x is awful powerful if you hunt in timber. I would consider an 8x32 if you want a small binocular.
