Here's what the publications had to say about Alpen Optics:

Alpen Apex XP 8x42 Binocular wins “Great Buy” Award in Outdoor Life’s Gear Test
The Apex XP 693, 8x42 joins a family of priced-right Alpens: very good glass and hunter-friendly amenities at a fantastic price. Alpen also continues it’s tradition of quality engineering and development with this extreme performance binocular. The optical clarity is sharp and crisp, performing well in early morning and late afternoon low light conditions.

One more example that Alpen provides “products that are useful, durable, and represent tremendous values.”

The Alpen Shasta Ridge Model 381SR, 8x30 was also acknowledged by Outdoor Life for its smart innovations, including “A strong triple-hinged design, very good glass for the money, generous eye relief, and a nice finger-grabbing geometry. There is a ton of value in this handy little binocular.” This model features a Super Close “Interpupillary Distance” (IPD), which is great for youths and those with close set eyes.
