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.
