# Optics Review: Kruger Backcountry 10X32 Mid-Size Binocular

![](<https://www.outdoorlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/22/JPPAU5BLXG4OLN2KSS5T2E2Y7E.jpg>)

This handy little binocular surprised the entire panel by delivering a very good image in a small, well-built package. We frankly expected the 10x32 Kruger to be another ho-hum Chinese import. But we discovered excellent edge-to-edge clarity and well-coated, bright glass. Noteworthy amenities include a tight clicking diopter wheel and precise focus. Its real asset, though, is its ability to deliver a big picture in a very trim frame.
