Barska's 7x50 Escape Binoculars combine a moderate magnification and oversized objectives to produce an optic ideally suited to perform in challenging lighting conditions. The large lenses draw in copious amounts of light while the low power ensures wide exit pupils that completely cover fully dilated pupils in low-light conditions such as at dawn or dusk, and under heavy canopies. Complementing these performance features are antireflection fully coated optics and a traditional Porro prism optical path, which all work together to produce bright and clear high-contrast views with accurate color rendition and a rich depth a field.

To help offset the weight of the large objectives, the Escape chassis is made of a lightweight and durable aluminum alloy wrapped in a protective slip-resistant rubber armor. For long glassing sessions or to reduce arm fatigue common with larger-objective binoculars, they are tripod mountable with an optional adapter. Fold-down rubber eyecups mold themselves to the user's eye sockets to block stray peripheral light for brighter views without intrusive side glare, and its large focusing wheel is highly textured to make precision focusing fast and easy.
