The Whitby Gear WG842 8x42 Binoculars use high-quality BAK-4 prisms for sharp, clear images, and multi-coated lenses for brightness and true colour.
Extra-long eye relief and twist-up eyecups make them ideal for glasses wearers, and a centre focus knob with independent right dioptre gives precise focusing.
