Alpen Optics designed their 8x26 Wings Waterproof Binoculars to be your go-to optic for all outdoor activities in any weather conditions.
Their 8x magnification is ideal for bird watching, hiking, and sightseeing; yet are compact and light enough to easily fit in most pockets, packs, and bags. This model of the Wings has a wide viewing angle and comfortable eye relief, so you'll be able to spend a lot of time behind the eyepieces without eye strain without having to move your head side to side to see the scene in front of you, with an exceptional 10-foot close focus distance. Utilizing an open bridge with dual hinges helps to reduce weight while providing ample room to wrap your hands completely around the optical tubes for a better grip. The optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be fog and waterproof, so you can be confident bringing them with you anywhere you go.
- Moderate 8x power magnifies images while preserving a wide field of view and exit pupil for easier, more comfortable viewing
- 26mm objective lenses ensure the overall form factor is compact, lightweight, and easy to hold
- Slim roof prisms contribute to the small housing size without compromising performance
- BAK4 prisms deliver a round exit pupil and a crisp and clear image with limited edge distortion
- Anti-reflection fully multicoated optics improve light transmission, color rendition, and contrast
- Short 10-foot close focus distance is ideal for making detailed observations of small subjects like birds, bees, insects, flora & fauna at feeders and flower beds
- Wide 61° apparent angle of view presents an immersive observational experience while reducing the need to move your head side to side to see the whole scene in front of you
- Spacious 400' field of view at 1000 yards
- Open bridge configuration reduces weight without sacrificing stability
- Large, slip-resistant center focus wheel is easy to manipulate in cold and wet weather, or when wearing gloves
- Right-eye dioptric correction ensures tack-sharp views
- Twist-up rubber eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear
- 16mm eye relief reduces eye strain and increases viewing comfort
- 3.25mm exit pupil
- Bridge design provides more gripping surface for steadier handling
- Nitrogen-filled to be resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme changes in weather and environmental conditions
- O-ring sealed to be waterproof
- Textured armoring with improve grip in cold and wet conditions
- Standard 1/4"-20 socket accepts an optional adapter for hands-free use on a tripod
- Weight: 20.8 ounces
