8x25 Endurance ED Compact Binoculars
The Hawke Optics 8x25 Endurance ED Compact Binoculars, in green, are lightweight and compact, offering moderate magnification for a wide field of view, making them an ideal companion for daily use. Whether you're hiking, camping, or simply on the go, these binoculars easily fit into a day bag, hiking pack, camping kit, or glove box. Designed for performance, they feature extra-low-dispersion glass, phase-corrected BAK4 roof prisms, and fully multi-coated optics to deliver sharp, color-accurate, high-contrast views without distortion or color fringing. A fast-focus wheel allows for quick subject acquisition, running through the entire focus range in just 3.2 turns. Built for durability and all-weather use, the Endurance binoculars are housed in a lightweight yet strong magnesium chassis with a dual-hinge bridge, allowing the tubes to fold into a compact size for easy packing and carrying. The ergonomic, slip-resistant armor with raised ridges ensures a secure grip, even in wet conditions. The binoculars are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and fogproof, ensuring reliable performance even in challenging weather or after an accidental drop in water. |
