The 9x35 Focus-Free Binocular from Barska has a compact dual-hinged housing, making it lightweight and small enough to fit in a shirt pocket. It has a fixed focus design, making instant viewing available when there's no time to be fumbling with a focus knob. The roof prism light path and blue-tinted anti-reflection fully coated optics increase light transmission and help to reduce glare, while preserving your ability to accurately see colors. This optic is ideal as an all-around long-distance scope for sporting events and races, nature walks, wildlife observation, or any situation where you need to quickly change the subject of your observation such as at a soccer game or watching action that moves quickly like enjoying a NASCAR race. This version of the binocular comes complete with a case and strap in clamshell packaging.
