Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are they better for hiking or hunting?

Both. The 10×32 configuration offers enough magnification for wildlife observation while still providing a sufficiently wide field of view for outdoor use.

How do they perform in low light?

Very well for their size, but they are not a large 50 mm binocular. They perform well at dusk and in typical lighting conditions but are not intended for night observation.

Do they fog up in winter or rain?

No. The nitrogen filling and waterproof sealing prevent internal fogging even during rapid temperature changes.

Can they be used with glasses?

Yes. The generous eye relief and adjustable twist-up eyecups make them comfortable for eyeglass wearers.
