A Guide to Birding with Binoculars

Straddling the fine line between compact and full-sized, the Alpen Optics 10×34 Wings Waterproof Binoculars was designed to be your go-to optic for all outdoor activities in any weather conditions.

The 34mm objectives are ideal for birders and hunters who tend to get neck strain during long outings using larger 42mm models. The wide field of view helps to minimize the distracting hand-shake that is common with high-power optics and reduces side-to-side head movement. Utilizing an open bridge with dual hinges helps to reduce weight while providing ample room to wrap your hands completely around the optical tubes for a better grip. Anti-reflection fully multicoated optics and BAK4 roof prisms transmit crisp and clear images with high contrast and resolution.
