Vanguard built their 8x42 VEO HD Binoculars to address the particular demands of hunters, birders, and outdoor enthusiasts. They deliver bright high-contrast images with accurate, true-to-life color and crisp clarity, even when observing from long distances. To achieve this optical performance, these binoculars feature anti-reflection fully multicoated extra-low dispersion (ED) glass with phase-correcting coatings on the BAK4 prisms. Designed to stand up to a lifetime of outdoor use, their chassis is made of a lightweight and durable polycarbonate that is also corrosion resistant to make it ideal for boaters. The optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to make them waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme changes to temperature or environmental conditions.

• 42mm objective lenses gather the light needed to ensure views remain bright and clear in even challenging light conditions
• Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations to produce views with true color rendition, without halos, diffraction, or distortion, across the entire field of view
• BAK4 prisms deliver a round exit pupil and a crisp, clear image with limited edge distortion
• Phase-corrected prism coatings reduce internal interference to improve contrast, clarity, and resolution
• Anti-reflection fully multicoated lenses maximize light transmission for bright and clear images with accurate color rendition
• Protective exterior lens coating adds scratch resistance and allows water to bead and roll off and oils/sap to be removed without leaving residue
• 372-foot field of view at 1000 yards

• Open-bridge/dual-hinge design reduces weight without sacrificing stability and offers more gripping surface for steadier handling
• Large slip-resistant center focus wheel is easy to manipulate in cold or wet conditions, or when wearing gloves
• Right-eye locking diopter adjustment enables users to compensate for optical prescription for sharper views
• Broad 58-74mm interpapillary adjustment range allows easy use by wide variety of people
• 3-stage twist-up eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear, removable and replaceable
• Tripod mountable with optional adapter for hands-free use to eliminate vibrations and arm fatigue
• Exceptional 19mm eye relief improves viewing comfort and reduces eyestrain during long glassing sessions
• Wide 5.25mm exit pupil will cover pupils as they open and fully dilate in low light

• Bridge design provides more room for your hands to use as a gripping surface and better stability
• Light and durable polycarbonate chassis
• Chassis is resistant to temperature fluctuations, so it will remain comfortable in even cold weather while being resistant to the expansion and contraction experienced by metal chassis that can move the optical components out of alignment over time
• Rubber-armor exterior offers impact protection while aggressive texturing provides a slip-resistant grip
• Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving though extreme temperature and environmental conditions
