Designed for fast glassing on the go, the Carson 8x26 RD Binoculars walk a delicate line between compact and full-sized to deliver performance while being lightweight. Their 8x magnification enables detailed observations of distant subjects and offers a generous field of view. BAK4 glass roof prisms and multi-coated optics improve light transmission, color rendition, clarity, and contrast to help offset the smaller objectives to boost performance as light fades.
The RD binoculars are engineered with an open-bridge and dual-hinge, which reduce weight and provide more gripping surface area, without sacrificing strength or stability. To withstand the rigors of the outdoors, the optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature changes. Their lightweight aluminum alloy chassis is wrapped in a green rubber armor that not only protects it from impacts, but provides a slip-resistant grip. The combination of smaller objectives and bridge design results in a slim form-factor that weighs just 10 ounces, so they can comfortably fit in most packs or pockets.
