Hunting binoculars: on the hunt for the best hunting binoculars

Because hunters often look at higher distances, a not too small enlargement factor (8 - 10 x) is important. To also obtain a higher twilight factor and a larger exit pupil this soon leads to binoculars with larger objective diameters of 56 mm for example.

The disadvantage of binoculars with a large objective diameter is that the weight of the binoculars also slightly increases. It is therefore important, in particular in long term use, to keep an eye on the weight. A plastic body can make a big difference in weight compared to a magnesium body for example.

Water tight binoculars for hunters

A hunter in the field can be faced with rain. Nitrogen- based binoculars are water tight and perfectly resistant to rain. These binoculars must also be physically strong. The life of 'hunter's binoculars' is not always rosy.
