Walking the fine line between compact and full-sized, the Opticron 8x32 Explorer WA ED-R Binoculars are easy to pack for a long trip and carry all day without sacrificing low-light performance, eye relief, or exit pupil—making them ideal for birding, general nature watching, hunting in wooded areas, and sightseeing. Extra-low dispersion glass lenses, anti-reflection fully multi-coated optical elements, and phase-corrected BAK4 roof prisms with proprietary high-transmission R-type coatings work together to maximize light transmission and virtually eliminate chromatic and spherical aberrations, producing crisp and clear high-contrast images with true color fidelity across the expansive field of view.

Opticron employs a combination of aluminum alloy and polycarbonate for the chassis to reduce weight without sacrificing strength and overall durability. The body is wrapped with rubber armor to give protection from drops and impacts while helping to provide a slip-resistant grip—especially in cold and wet weather. Designed for durability, the housing is nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed for water and fogproof performance in all types of conditions. Included with the binoculars are two tethered objective lens covers and a one-piece ocular rainguard that attaches to the neck strap so your caps and covers are always within easy reach. Measuring under 5 inches in length and weighing well under a pound, these binoculars will be your constant companion from the backyard to the back country to the outback.
