Outfitted with a high magnification and mid-sized objectives, Tasco's 16x32 Essentials Compact Binoculars are ideal for making detailed observations of distant subjects without weighing you down or adding excessive bulk to pocket, pack, or purse. Anti-reflection fully-coated optics help to offset the smaller objectives and maximize light transmission; improve color rendition and contrast. Complementing the optics is a lightweight plastic chassis that is wrapped in a protective rubber armor to provide a slip-resistant grip. A ridged center wheel helps to bring views into tack-sharp focus, with fold-down rubber eyecups for comfortable use with or without eye glasses or sunglasses. Weighing in at just 12.4 ounces, these Essential binoculars are comfortable to hold for long periods of time.
