Vanguard VEO HD2 8x42 Binoculars

At 710 grams, the Vanguard VEO HD2 8x42 binoculars are pleasantly light to hold and feel comfortable in your hand. The housing is constructed from carbon composite, a material that is strong and resistant to corrosion. Around it is a rubber layer, called Mitsubishi rubber armour, which provides extra grip and better protects the binoculars against daily use. These binoculars are built to withstand the elements: they are completely scratch-resistant and have IPX7 water resistance. This means completely waterproof — up to a maximum of 30 minutes at one metre depth without damage. Even when the weather is unfavourable, you can continue observing with them. For those looking for a robust all-round binoculars, a logical choice.

When observing, you work with a fixed magnification of 8x and lenses with a diameter of 42 mm; these allow plenty of light through and thus deliver excellent light transmission. Chromatic aberration is reduced by the HOYA Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass, so you see extremely sharp and colour-corrected images. The field of view is 12.4 metres at 100 metres distance. The fully multi-coated BaK4 roof prisms provide sharpness from edge to edge. The binoculars are also filled with nitrogen to prevent fogging on the inside of the lenses.
