Outfitted with a magnification and objective lens combination that is optimized for low-light use, the Minox 8x56 X-lite Binoculars combine an ergonomic form factor with important optical features to give you an optic that offers performance from the predawn hours all the way through past dusk.

The binoculars 8x power brings your subject in close for observation while presenting an ultrawide exit pupil and extra-long eye relief, making them ideal for bird watching, hiking, and sightseeing. The massive 56mm objectives keep the views bright and sharp even in low and challenging light like at dawn and dusk or under heavy cloud cover or forest canopies. 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 offset the weight of the front lenses 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 binoculars will be more comfortable than yourself if the weather takes a turn to cold and wet.
