Outfitted with a magnification and objective lens combination optimized for low-light use, the Alpen Optics 8x56 Apex XP ED Waterproof Binoculars will be your go-to optic for all outdoor activities in any weather conditions.

The binoculars' 8x power brings your subject in close for observation and positive identification while presenting you with an ultrawide exit pupil and long eye relief, making them ideal for bird watching and hunting. The massive 56mm objectives keep views bright and sharp, even in low and challenging lighting like that at dawn and dusk or under heavy cloud cover or forest canopies. Upgraded from the standard Apex series, the XP ED line features anti-reflection fully multicoated extra-low dispersion (ED) glass lenses in addition to the proprietary PXA phase-correcting prism coatings and HR metallic covered reflective prism surfaces that maximize light transmission and boost clarity, contrast, and color representation without halos or fringing. Weighing in at 3.5 pounds, some users may experience arm fatigue during long glassing sessions, so Alpen outfitted the Apex with a standard 1/4"-20 socket on the front of its bridge hinge that will accept standard binocular tripod adapters.
