I have several SIG optics. The 20×42 ZULU6 are simply fantastic! Very easy to see long ranges and clearly easy to see small items at 1850 yards. Totally steady great I'm now using the 20x 42 in place of my spotting scope for the most part. I purchased a pair of 16×42 for my Brother in Law for Christmas they blew his mind!! He has some really nice glass 10x50s, the SIG blows them out of the water!

I have many high power binoculars including Leica 10x, Canon 15×50 IS and Sig Zulu6 (1st gen) 16×42. I can’t even start to put into words how good this 20×42 Zulu6 HDX is except it blows everything else away. I only want to check them side by side against the far bigger and heavier Zeiss 20x60S but they’re so expensive nobody even stocks them here.

Don't look through a pair of these or else you'll buy them. Amazing the 20x are spotter killers. I'll never pack my scope again.

I'm addicted to image stabilized binoculars because they have finally made binoculars almost flawlessly useful. But they have one big enemy and it's heat waves, due to the fact that no binocular can undo heat waves, and the farther you can see, the worse the view will be degraded. The Sig Sauer 20×42 binoculars seem optimized for hunting in that you can see a heck of a long ways, but the objective lenses are too small to gather sufficient light to view small birds with detail at the distance they're capable of. For nearer bird watching in bright daylight, they're delightful. With these I can watch a bird on a nest when I can't see the nest with my naked eyes. The optical components may not be the very best, but you will see things that weaker glasses won't give you. A passenger jet flew overhead and I could see a prominent flashing light on its belly I never knew they had. In the world of stabilized binoculars these, and the very similar Opticrons, are phenominally compact and light weight. For taking on a hike they're unbeatable. And as for battery consumption, while they don't claim compatibility, I've been using them with 1.2V rechargeable batteries which I can perpetually replenish. The field of view is not great, but the ability to scan with partial stabilization is nice. The one problem I have with these small and lightweight binoculars is that they will still move up and down with every breath. The image remains sharp but the object I'm focused on moves within the picture. For me, only a much heavier binocular overcomes this. So choosing a binocular comes down to what your peculiarities are and how you'll use them. Watch out for heat waves.

I tried out the Gen1 Zulu6 16×42 and I was incredibly shocked at the progress of binocular technology. Extremely lightweight and the stabilizer was a game changer for me. Then I looked up on Sig Sauer’s website and saw they were about to drop the new Gen2 Hulu6 HDX with better glass and target mode added to the scan mode, almost doubling the stabilization. Not only that but coming out with a 20 times magnification model, I was instantly sold. Yes this is a must upgrade if you have the Gen1. Now that I have them, target mode literally holds the image completely still. You can jump and move around and they are still locked on target. This is perfect for a spotting hole punches on a 100 yard range or using them on a boat. The new glass is crystal clear even fully zoomed out, it’s not dramatically changed from the Gen1 but you can see the difference. The weight is still extremely lightweight. Truly a go everywhere binoculars. These binoculars are the apex of stabilized binoculars period. I’ve tried Canon and others, these are mind blowing and so much better compared to others currently on the market. The 20x magnification is perfect for seeing those tiny details and the field of view is perfect for my uses, seeing things far away in detail while on the move. The moon and stars look amazing especially fully stabilized, like a picture in the lenses. Seriously the new target mode is like having them on a tripod, absolutely zero hand shake even fully zoomed out. There is only one small complaint that has nothing to do with the binoculars, the lens caps provided barely hold on and there is none for the unique shape of the bottom lenses. That being said, I’d be taking them off all the time and leaving them in the case anyways. I walk around with them around my neck and forget they are on. I’m amazed they put so much tech into such a small package, that’s partially due to the roof prism technique and the lightweight materials in the construction. They seem very solid and durable in my hands but I’m not gonna durability test them since they are new and expensive. These need to put on blast on social media. They are so freaking cool!!!

These binos are a great purchase for anyone trying get clear view of objects at longer distance. Older persons would get a lot of benefit from these types of binos to enhance their ability to stay on the object without shakng as much. Definitely recommend for longer range hunters.
