Compact and lightweight, the Leica 8x20 Ultravid BR Binoculars deliver the views users have come to expect from the brand, with an easy to use and convenient to carry form factor.They are designed with a combination of phase-corrected BAK4 roof prisms, the proprietary HighLux system, and HDC fully multicoated optics to produce bright and clear color-neutral images, while fitting comfortably in the hand for long, fatigue-free glassing sessions. The HDC coatings add abrasion resistance to protect the exterior lens surfaces, and the lenses are also treated with AquaDura coatings which make it easy to clean dirt, grime, oils, sap, and fingerprints without leaving residues that can interfere with views.Designed to easily fit in a pocket, pack, or purse, the binoculars are made with a dual-hinge system that allows the optical tubes to fold and tuck under the closed bridge to ensure the smallest form factor when fully closed. This also provides a wide interpupillary distance adjustment for easier use by those with narrow faces like children and adolescents. Helping to reduce the weight to a mere 8.5 ounces is an aluminum alloy chassis that is wrapped in matte-black rubber armor that provides a slip-resistant grip that feels comfortable in the hand, especially in cold and wet weather.Light, compact, and easy to use while delivering bright and clear images, the Ultravid is made to be your constant companion on the trail, at the stadium, or sightseeing around the world.Optical Performance Moderate 8x power magnifies views while preserving a generous field of viewCompact 20mm objective lenses ensure slim optical tubes to maintain a compact formBAK4 roof prisms deliver a round exit pupil, and a crisp and clear image with limited edge distortionP40 phase-correcting prism coating increases light transmission while improving contrast and clarityHDC fully multicoated system has abrasion-resistant and anti-reflection properties to protect exterior lens surfaces, and improve light transmission and contrastHighLux-System (HLS) maximizes light throughput to improve color rendition and contrastHydrophobic AquaDura coating on external optical surfaces allows dirt, dust, and fingerprints to be removed easilyClose 6' minimum focus distance enables detailed observations of bugs, birds, flowers, fauna, and flora at close distances341-foot field of view at 1000 yardsUse and Handling Closed-bridge/dual-hinge configuration provides a sturdy platform for the internal focusing mechanismTextured long, yet low-profile, center focusing wheel helps to maintain an overall compact form while still being easy to manipulateWide 34-74mm interpupillary distance range accommodates use by a wide variety of users especially those with narrow faces like children and adolescents 3.5 right-eye dioptric correction allows user to compensate for optical prescriptionTwist-up rubber eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear15mm eye relief makes long-duration glassing sessions more comfortable with reduced eye strain2.5mm exit pupilConstruction Details Dual-hinge design allows optical tubes to fold under the bridge for an ultra-compact form factor when closed, to take up less space in packs and pocketsLightweight and durable aluminum alloy chassisMatte-black rubber armor provides a slip-resistant grip, especially in cold and wet weatherO-ring sealed to be waterproof and submersible to a depth of 16.5 feet Compact 4.4 x 3.7" form factor is easy to pack and carryLight 8.5-ounce weight
