I too have a pair of Wind River P1's 8X42's. They have BAK 4 lens coating which is very similar to the Multicoat 4 lens coating used on their Vari X III riflescopes. These glasses are outstanding! My friend has a pair of Leica 8X42 BA's that cost about a grand. We shoot 3D competitively and I saw every scoring line he saw. That's pretty good. I am not trying to suggest that these P1's that cost about $250-$300 are as good as the Leica's, but they are very good. The Wind Rivers are also backed by Leupold's Lifetime warranty and are 100% waterproof. If I was not limited by the IBO's 8 power restriction on binoculars, I would have chosen the 10X50 P1's that are not much larger or bulkier. The increased power is very important to me. Try these in low light conditions if possible and I think you'll be very pleased with them. www.dnrsports.com has them for about $250.
