For field events, including football, rugby, athletics, horse racing and motor racing etc, you require sufficient magnification to see the detail but a wide angle of view is also important, 10x magnification is an excellent choice for these applications.

If the binocular is going to be exposed to the elements then a waterproof model is worth serious consideration, if it is likely to receive knocks, consider a rubber armoured model.

We recommend a binocular with magnification in the region of 7x – 10x, these will give a wide field of view which is ideal for locating a moving subject.
