Get the small hunting one. I got a couple pairs of "cheap" bino, and my small, I think it's tasco, in brown camo, are the best.

I have larger Bushnell that used to be very good, but now the lenses are all out of focus.

Those I'm talking about are like this:

Just don't expect much use from them while playing airsoft, binocs need to be real close to the eyes to get the best picture, wearing glasses or goggles will maybe give you 1/2 FOV if lucky. Is a big reason why players use a scope to view distances during games as opposed to binocs. I honestly can say I've never seen anyone use binocs during an airsoft game, guess many have tried and gave up afterwards.

Anyways, Canadian Tire has some good ones, Princess Auto (if you have one close) has mediocre ones for very cheap.... all depends on where you have local and what style you want. Asking a vague question like this about bincoulars is rather like asking where to buy cheap condoms on here, we don't know what you want to use them for (seriously, am sure there are more than three uses that I know of), what size, what price range, what options do you want (ribbed binoculars for her pleasure?) Lol

I used them once in a milsim where I was in a hidden OP. I had to remove my glasses (ESS ICE) to use them. I was worried about being sniped in the face all the time. Scopes work great, but they lack the FOV and magnification combo of binocs.

Exactly, which is why binocs are never used during games, the risk is too high. Luckily I tried my Tasco armoured ones at home with my goggles and learned they aren't useful the easy way.
