Eden binoculars XP 8x42

The binoculars are OK for the price. Handling and mechanics are very good, and the image quality is acceptable, aside from some glare and chromatic aberration (at least compared to a more expensive pair I own, which admittedly is a bit unfair). The reason they did not meet my expectations is that I thought they could be used in cold weather (down to −20 °C according to the specifications). On my unit, the focus wheel becomes hard to turn at 0 °C and very hard —essentially unusable for birding— at −10 °C. Overall, I still recommend the product for warm-weather use, but for cold weather, based on my experience, it is not usable. Perhaps a change in the grease used in the mechanisms could fix this problem.
