Just this week, in Melbourne, saw the launch of the races for 2012. We were instantly inundated with calls from ladies asking about horse racing binoculars. In our excitement we recommended a few Carl Zeiss Victories, thinking how wonderful those optics would be for viewing the horses.
Upon further conversation, I’ve learned that a bigger group of ladies were looking for something to view horses at close view, yes, but more importantly they were looking for something to go with their spring outfits.
Ah! And that Eureka moment got me searching for fashion binos. My research led me to Opera Glasses. These glasses are specially designed for theatre goers. They usually come in a 3x magnification, so they are not too powerful for viewing in an enclosed area such as a concert hall.
While these are not powerful enough for horse viewing in the stadium, these binoculars are cosmetically appeal and come in a few different glossy colors to match your outfit.
Give it a try!
