Pentax Sport Optics Binocular Roundup
Lightweight and compact with a moderate magnification to ensure a spacious field of view, the green Hawke Optics 8x25 Endurance ED Compact Binoculars are an bideal companion for your daily glassing needs that will easily fit in a day bag, hiking pack, camping kit, or glove box.
Engineered for performance, the Endurance binoculars are made with extra-low-dispersion glass, phase-corrected BAK4 roof prisms, and fully multi-coated optics to produce color-accurate high-contrast views without distortion or color fringing—so your distant subjects look crisp and clear with excellent resolution. Complementing this optical performance is a fast-focusing wheel that runs through the full focus range in just 3.2 turns, so finding and tracking subjects is fast and easy.
Designed for daily outdoor use in all weather and to make it easy to hold, the Endurance features a lightweight and strong magnesium chassis with dual-hinge bridge. The bridge allows the optical tubes to fold and tuck under the binoculars to present an extremely compact profile for easier packing and carrying. An ergonomic and slip-resistant armoring with raised ridges provides a sure and positive grip. The optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging if the weather turns or the binoculars take an accidental spill in a stream or puddle.
