Leica's Ultravid line are remarkable roof prism binoculars which exceed even the lofty standards of the Trinovid models, while reducing weight and streamlining the chassis. Ultravids contours feel as immediately comfortable in your hands as does wearing an old pair of jeans, and they couldn't be easier to keep steady on your subject. They're available with rubber armoring in basic black, an attractive militaristic green and occasionally a purist's delight of black pebbled leather.
The 8x50 model is perfect for those who need the absolute brightest binocular possible, and are willing to sacrifice weight savings in order to do so. It features a whopping 6.25mm exit pupil diameter which allows comfortable viewing in all twilight. They're great for hunters who work from a stationary position for extended durations.
While the included cordura case is plenty durable, it does tend to abrade clothing if left at your side while walking. The optional cases will not do this.
