Vanguard VEO HD2 10x42 Binoculars

Vanguard VEO HD2 10x42 Binoculars

The Vanguard VEO HD2 10x42 Binoculars from Vanguard Optics feature extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and BAK4 prisms that work together to virtually eliminate chromatic aberration, which produces images with true color fidelity across the entire wide 65° apparent field of view and enhanced contrast. Complementing the glass and prisms are anti-reflection fully multicoated optics that improve light transmission for bright and clear images with greater low-light performance.

An open-bridge design and carbon composite housing help to balance the binoculars and reduce weight without sacrificing strength. The open bridge also provides a large surface area to hold for increased stability. Mitsubishi rubber armor and thumb indents on the bottom of the chassis help to give protection from drops and impacts and provide a non-slip grip. Designed for durability, the housing is nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed for fog and waterproof performance, and the twist-up eyecups provide a custom-fit eye relief for use with or without eyewear.
