Perks
With most products, you get what you pay for. In the case of these binoculars, however, the opposite is true. Excellent optics are offered for a decent price. Additionally, most binoculars designed for astronomy are lacking when it comes to clarity with distant objects. The components of the 28x110 offer better-than-average magnification boosts. Also worth mentioning is the unusual feature of recessed threads on eyepieces, so 1 ¼ inch filters can be screwed on.
Sacrifices
One concern with the Signature series is that when viewing in cold conditions, the interpupillary adjustments become somewhat stiff. If sharing the binoculars with others who require different magnification levels, this can be a problem. Also, as is the case with any quality binoculars designed with astronomy in mind, a sturdy tripod is a must, adding to the cost.
Bottom Line
For the astronomy enthusiast looking for large aperture options, the Garrett Signature 28x110 HD-WP binoculars are an ideal choice, combining a competitive low price tag, sleek design and quality optics.
