Alpen Optics

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.Optical Performance Moderate 8x power magnifies images while preserving a wide field of view and exit pupil for easier, more comfortable viewing26mm objective lenses ensure the overall form factor is compact, lightweight, and easy to holdSlim roof prisms contribute to the small housing size without compromising performanceBAK4 prisms deliver a round exit pupil and a crisp and clear image with limited edge distortionAnti-reflection fully multicoated optics improve light transmission, color rendition, and contrastShort 10-foot close focus distance is ideal for making detailed observations of small subjects like birds, bees, insects, flora & fauna at feeders and flower bedsWide 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 youSpacious 400' field of view at 1000 yardsUse and Handling Open bridge configuration reduces weight without sacrificing stabilityLarge, slip-resistant center focus wheel is easy to manipulate in cold and wet weather, or when wearing glovesRight-eye dioptric correction ensures tack-sharp viewsTwist-up rubber eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear16mm eye relief reduces eye strain and increases viewing comfort3.25mm exit pupilConstruction Details Bridge design provides more gripping surface for steadier handlingNitrogen-filled to be resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme changes in weather and environmental conditionsO-ring sealed to be waterproofTextured armoring with improve grip in cold and wet conditionsStandard 1/4"-20 socket accepts an optional adapter for hands-free use on a tripodWeight: 20.8 ounces
