Walking the fine line between compact and full-sized, the Alpen Optics 8x34 Wings Waterproof Binoculars was designed to be your go-to optic for all outdoor activities in any weather conditions.
The 34mm objectives are ideal for birders and hunters who tend to get neck strain during long outings using larger 42mm models. The wide field of view reduces side-to-side head movement while the long eye relief and comfortable exit pupil makes the time you spend behind the eyepieces enjoyable. Utilizing an open bridge with dual hinges helps to reduce weight while providing ample room to wrap your hands completely around the optical tubes for a better grip.
