Designed to be highly portable and durable, the Vanguard 8x25 Vesta Binoculars feature moderate magnification and comfortable eye relief distance and exit pupil diameter to make this an ideal optic for hiking, general nature watching, and getting close-up looks at architectural details of building and skyscrapers. Optically, they are made with compact BAK4 roof prisms and anti-reflection Multiguard multi-coated lens surfaces to boost the light-gathering ability and produce bright and clear high-contrast images with accurate color representation.
To withstand the rigors of the outdoors, the chassis is made of a lightweight and durable material, and each optical tube is sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging, so the binoculars will continue to perform in even the most inclement of weather. The Vesta is wrapped in a protective rubber armor to provide a slip-resistant grip, even when it's cold and wet. Their large center focusing wheel is set low on the bridge, so while they are easy to manipulate, even when wearing gloves, they present a low profile.
With a total weight of just 1/2 pound and an ergonomic compact form factor, the Vesta can easily fit in most packs and pockets for transport and won't weigh you down when hanging around your neck, for fast glassing on the trail, in the woods, or sightseeing around the world.
