Alpen Optics 8x42 Teton Ed-hd Binoculars

Outfitted with an exceptional glass and prism system complemented by an array of optical coatings, the Alpen Optics 8x42 Teton ED-HD Binoculars will be your go-to optic for all outdoor activities in any weather conditions.
The Tetons feature extra-low dispersion (ED) glass lenses in addition to proprietary PXA phase-correcting and SHR metallic coatings on the compact Abbe-Koenig prisms that maximize light transmission and boost clarity and contrast. Anti-reflection fully multicoated optics present you with bright, clear, high-contrast views with accurate color rendition free from distortion or color fringing. The 42mm objectives gather all the light needed to keep views crisp and bright in challenging conditions, such as at dawn and dusk, without being overly bulky or cumbersome. Their wide field of view helps to immerse you in the view and reduce side-to-side head movement while providing both a long eye relief and a wide exit pupil.
