are these to heavy to watch a football game

I wouldn't think so. They are actually very comfortable to hold and comfortable against your eyes. We've only used ours once or twice and usually use it with the Celestron telescope that we also have. They are the best value for the money.

I don't think they are too heavy. An issue might be that they are very powerful and are on the large side. My hands shake a lot, so when I use these to look at things other than stars and planets I usually sit my elbows on a rail or something similar so that my view is steady. On the plus side, they are crazy durable, the carrying case is very adequate, and they are easy to collimate if the images don't align perfectly on delivery (which happens on many new binoculars).

They're pretty heavy to be holding up to your eyes for long periods of time. I bought mine for stargazing and added the tripod adapter. I'd go with something lighter for use at a three hour long football game.

No, they are not heavy at all. They have the rubber bottom which is good for the most part. I sometimes like to turn my bowl while I mix and you can't do that with the rubber bottom. Other than that, I LOVE them!

No - they are NOT. And they are very heavy. So I'm just careful. I love them :-)

i wouldn't say they're weighted, they're more like resistant with a somewhat heavy feel.

No, I wouldn't say that they are top heavy. They don't get knocked over any more than other large glasses.

I use them to watch football games and they're fantastic for this purpose. The wide field of view allows you to see the action MUCH for effectively than my higher power / smaller field Zeiss field binocs. The only real negative is that they do fog up, particularly if you don't adjust the eyepieces properly. Bring a soft cloth along if you live in a high humidity climate. Good luck!

They are fine with the bags that come with it. If you try to use 1 pound bags they bounce off good. This is a perfect set for tailgating. Beats the hassle of dragging a heavy wood set.

These would be pretty good for football games. Nice wide field of view and a bright image certainly help to see who has the ball.

I'm not sure how much they weigh, but I would have a hard time believing one of these weighs a pound. They're solid, though, so it's possible. They are great quality - look great and great value. Can't complain.

Cardinals use mine fine. Is the spring tension too light for their weight? If so, you may be able to bend the springs out some?

Absolutely, they are quite light. Guess it somewhat depends on what you're hanging on them though.

They are fairly light unless you have lid on. I haven't weighed them but they aren't cheap feeling

I am not sure but I think a 300lb person would do fine with these. I am 170 and spouse about 185, no problems with feeling they were going to cave in on us or anything.

For me, I feel it's very important. Some moves I can do with the heavier weight. While other moves it's best for me to lighten my weight. You'll LOVE these. They are so comfortable to use.

I found them to be pretty heavy compared to what I had before. I bought 2 sets and kept them both.

They are not heavy. Depends upon the age of the kid(s) on difficulty to focus. The clarity is good, but does take some finagling to get the focus -- but would work well if you focus then hand off to younger kids.

I wouldn't call them heavy. They have the weight of stone wear. They aren't particularly light either. If you need a lightweight dish a thin China or corelle brand dishes may be best
