General
Product Name: 8 x 21 Compact Binoculars
Brand: U.S. Army
Model Number: US-BC821
Color: Black
Imaging
Magnification: 8 times
Objective Lens Diameter: 21 millimeters (Generally, the larger the diameter of the objective lens, the greater the light-collecting power and the brighter images will appear.)
Close Focusing Distance: 16.4 feet (The closest distance the user can be from an object to obtain a clear, focused view through the lens.)
Angular Field Of View (Apparent/degree): 57.6 degrees (Measurement of the angle of the magnified field seen through the lens. The greater the number, the wider the field of view that can be seen.)
Angular Field Of View (Real/degree): 7.2 degrees (Measurement of the angle of the visible field seen through the lens (without magnification). The greater the number, the wider the area that can be viewed.)
Features
Size: Compact
Prism Type: Porro (Prisms ensure the proper horizontal and vertical orientation of the view. There are two main types: roof and Porro. Roof prisms, typically more expensive than the alternative, have a more streamlined design due to their glass elements being in line with one another. Porro prisms, though they contribute to a larger form factor, typically provide a wider field of view than roof prisms.)
Tripod Mountable: No
Eyecup Type: Other (In addition to blocking peripheral light, adjustable eyecups can limit or expand the field of view as well as promote comfort for the user.)
Exit Pupil: 2.7 millimeters (The diameter of the beam of light that travels through the lens to the user's eye. Generally, the larger this measurement, the greater the relative brightness and detail of the image.)
Lens Coating: Multilayer coated (Chemical coatings on a lens reduce reflective light loss and improve light transmission. The different coating levels indicate the number of anti-reflective layers and the lens surfaces to which they're applied, ranging from coated (the most basic) to fully multi-coated (typical of high-end optics).)
Focus System: Center (The most common binocular focusing system is center focus, which features a centered wheel or lever (InstaFocus) between the barrels, and usually additional diopter adjustment. Individual focus binoculars allows each eyepiece to be adjusted independently.)
Eye Relief: 10 millimeters (The maximum distance between the eyepiece lens and user's eye at which the full field of view can be seen.)

Great product
I purchased these for my 9 year old son as a gift so he could explore the area around our home. He absolutely loves them. I used them recently at a sporting event and was impressed with both the compact size, quality of the optics and the quality of construction.

Small but useful
Took these on a trip to wilderness areas. They were small but easy to use. Not as powerful as some, but still useful. Easy to focus.
