Minox designed their 8x26 X-Lite Binoculars to be your go-to optic for all of your outdoor activities.

Their 8x power brings your subject in close for observation while preserving a comfortable exit pupil and eye relief, making them ideal for bird watching, hiking, and sightseeing. The 26mm objectives keep the form factor highly compact and light to easily fit in most pockets, packs, and bags without weighing you down. This combination of power and objective size make these comfortable binoculars to carry, hold, and use all day long without causing fatigue or eyestrain. Anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics and phase-corrected K9 roof prisms transmit bright and clear high-contrast images with true neutral color rendition and crisp clarity.

Utilizing an open-bridge/dual-hinge configuration helps to cut weight without sacrificing stability while providing plenty of room to wrap your hands completely around the optical tubes for a better grip. The chassis is made of a lightweight and durable aluminum alloy, while the optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed for water and fogproof performance—so the X-Lite will be more comfortable than you if the weather takes a turn to cold and wet.
