The glass
Thanks to the excellent high-definition glass, you can observe wildlife and landscapes in high resolution and fascinating detail. High light transmission ensures bright, clear images even in poor lighting and weather conditions.

The coating
Premium coatings ensure exceptional viewing pleasure. ALPEN’s exclusive UBX multi-coating significantly increases light transmission. Excellent contrast and brightness are guaranteed by the high-quality PXA phase coating. The LPE (Lotus Pearl Effect) coating ensures that water droplets roll off and dirt is washed away in the rain.

Stable, weatherproof and user-friendly
The robust design and rubber armor provide a secure grip. The splashproof binoculars withstand rain and fog, while nitrogen filling prevents internal fogging during temperature changes.

Suitable for glasses wearers
Twist-up eyecups allow comfortable use with glasses. LE eyepieces provide extended eye relief, ensuring a full field of view. Diopter adjustment allows quick individual focusing.
Whether in the hunting area or on the water – these binoculars deliver a perfectly stable image everywhere.

Five-year warranty
Good prospects for frequent observers – with ALPEN’s extended warranty.

Crystal-clear images with high-quality optics
Instead of standard BK-7, the optics are made of BaK-4 glass (barium crown glass), which provides sharper and brighter images. High-quality BaK-4 glass optics are used in all ALPEN Optics products sold in Europe.

Special coating for more clarity and contrast
Thanks to the excellent PXA phase coating, every detail is visible in crystal-clear, high-contrast images.

Detailed high-resolution images
Ideal for hiking, hunting and trekking – the high-definition optics deliver excellent images in all conditions. The environment is displayed in high resolution with impressive detail. The HD glass also offers very high light transmission for bright images even in poor weather and lighting.
