Hi guy.

I thought this would be the perfect place to ask about binoculars.

Can I get a decent set for 40-50 quid. Iv had crappy, flimsy plastic ones before and would prefer something robust. You know, something that feels quality. I dont need anything huge or super powerful but something to fit neatly in my EDC and have max range for my budget. They'll mainly be used for wildlife spotting if that helps.

What do you guys recommend.

Lidl had some for €20 or €30 recently and they might still be there.

They are pretty good for the money.

As far as i remember the ones in Lidl were Bresser 10 x 50.
They are pretty chunky normal size ones,not compact.
