Straddling the delicate line between compact and full size, Minox designed their 8x34 X-Lite Binoculars to be your go-to optic for all of your outdoor activities—offering the carrying and handling convenience of the former with the performance of the latter.

Their 8x power brings your subject in close for observation while presenting a wide exit pupil and long eye relief, making them ideal for bird watching, hiking, and sightseeing. The 34mm objectives keep the views bright and sharp while remaining relatively compact and light to easily pack and carry without weighing you down. Anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics and phase-corrected BAK4 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, even if you need to hold them with one hand. 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 binoculars will be more comfortable than you if the weather takes a turn to cold and wet.
