Q1: Are these lenses polarized or in any way offer any protection from UV rays?

A: the optical coatings that Nikon uses offer UVA and UVB protection although it is not on the same level as sunglasses, but still good protection.

Q2: If an item is not in stock will you be restocking soon. We are looking for Nikon binoculars...7x35 Action Extreme ATB Waterproof Ultra wide view..sku # 7237 $129.95

A: Hello Bobbi, Thank you for your email. Yes, these should be in stock soon. We are awaiting 18 to arrive from Nikon and we currently only have 3 customers on order for this product. It usually takes 7-10 business days for a product to arrive in our warehouse once a product order has been placed with a manufacturer. Our last order was placed with Nikon on December 19th. The holidays have screwed up the normal shipping schedules (UPS shipping/Nikon warehouse hours. . etc. .) so we should be seeing them within the next week. Thank you! Denny

Q3: HOW MUCH DO THESE BINOCULARS WEIGH? WHICH ARE BETTER FOR WATCHING FOOTBALL --THE 7X35 OR 8X40?

A: Nikon 7x35 Action Extreme ATB Waterproof Ultra Wide View binoculars weigh approximately 28 ounces. Most observers prefer an 8x40 binocular to a 7x35 as an all-around viewing instrument. You'll get better low-light performance from them. However, for watching an action game like football, you want a very large field of view to make it easy to keep up with the plays on the field. The 7x35s offer a 489-foot field of view, and that's pretty hard to argue with.
