Featuring premium lenses and prisms with coatings for optimal performance, the 8x25 Frontier ED X Binoculars from Hawke Optics deliver bright and clear high-contrast images and accurate color rendition. Pocket-sized for easy portability, the optic is a great companion for travel, sightseeing, sports, music festivals, and general use. The lightweight and durable magnesium-alloy chassis is protected by a rubberized armor, textured for a nonslip grip, and the optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging.
