The Barska 10x25 Trend Monocular is an eye opener. Who says that monoculars have to be like a short, fat stogy? This monocular has ergonomic rubber armoring with silver enhancements. It has a sleek, tapered contemporary look that shouldn't be lost in the backpack, pocket or purse. It's compact and light enough to always have handy whenever that unforeseen scene appears out of nowhere in a moment's notice. The 10x25 Trend Monocular has a ridged focus knob providing a firm and slip resistant focus grip. The wrist strap contributes added security so that the optic won't get dropped at the least convenient time. Don't hide it in a pocket, bury it into a backpack or leave it in a purse where its aesthetic form won't be noted. Keep it out and handy.
