Konus 8X26 Binocular Patrol

Overview

Konus designed their 8x26 Patrol Waterproof Binoculars as your go-to optic for all of your activities, from hiking to sightseeing to taking in a game or play.

The 8x magnification is ideal for general purpose needs, providing the magnification you need without narrowing the field of view and exit pupil to improve your comfort. Anti-reflection multicoated optics and BAK4 roof prisms transmit crisp and clear images across the entire wide field of view with high contrast and resolution. They are compact and light enough to easily fit in most pockets, packs, and bags and by utilising an open bridge with dual hinges it provides ample room to wrap your hands completely around the optical tubes for a better grip. The optical tubes are O-ring sealed to be waterproof, so you can be confident bringing them with you anywhere you go.
