The new Carl Zeiss Victory Compact 8x20 T* binoculars now have LotuTec coating that enables fast, easy and lasting cleaning - water and dirt repelling - for the same cost of the old Victory Compact 8x20 T* binoculars. With a functional and attractive design, the matte, black rubber armoring ensures that the binoculars can be held comfortably even in wet and cold weather. They are guaranteed waterproof, and are also dust-proof. Zeiss T* multilayer coating of all lens elements and prisms of the optical system guarantees high brilliance, razor-sharp definition and outstanding color fidelity. Long eye relief eyepieces with lockable push-pull eyecups also allow eyeglass wearers to enjoy the full field of view. A casing made of very sturdy, glass fiber reinforced synthetic material adds the benefit of low weight. Ideal for hiking, climbing, or other sporting events and features a close focus distance of just 8.5 feet so nearby objects can be observed in great detail. Now with a custom leather case.
