Ultra-Clear Optics for Serious Outdoor Enthusiasts

When you're out in the field, every second counts. Whether tracking wildlife through dense terrain or spotting birds in flight, you need binoculars that keep up with the action. The Alpen Black Tusk 8x42 ED delivers lightning-fast focusing, razor-sharp clarity, and a wide field of view—so you never miss a critical moment.

For maximum brightness and color fidelity, the multi-layered coatings (PXA + FBMC + HR) work together to reduce glare, enhance contrast, and improve light transmission, ensuring that every detail is crystal-clear.

Unrivaled Low-Light Performance

Many binoculars struggle in twilight conditions, resulting in blurred, washed-out images. With 94%+ light transmission, a twilight factor of 20.49, and high light intensity (17.64), these binoculars excel in low-light environments, making them the perfect choice for dawn and dusk viewing.

Additionally, these binoculars are built with BaK-4 prisms, a premium optical system that enhances image brightness, reduces light scatter, and improves edge-to-edge clarity. Unlike cheaper BK-7 prisms, BaK-4 ensures sharper details and higher contrast, even in low-light conditions.

Built for Extreme Weather & Tough Conditions

Outdoor enthusiasts don’t have time to worry about fragile gear. That’s why the Alpen Black Tusk 8x42 ED Binoculars are fully waterproof and fog-proof, designed to withstand harsh environments, sudden temperature changes, and heavy rain.

Unlike many binoculars that only claim to be "weather-resistant," these are fully waterproof up to 1m for 30 minutes, meaning they can handle heavy downpours, misty conditions, and even accidental submersion without damage. The nitrogen-filled housing prevents internal fogging, ensuring a clear view no matter the conditions.

The reinforced magnesium body and metal focus & diopter rings add long-term durability, unlike cheaper models that rely on plastic components prone to wear and tear. 

Effortless Tracking with Deep, Stable Focus

Many binoculars struggle with focus at different distances, requiring constant adjustments to maintain clarity. The Alpen Black Tusk 8x42 ED is designed with superior depth of field, so you spend less time refocusing and more time enjoying the view.

For nature lovers who enjoy close-range observation, these binoculars feature an impressive 2.5m close focus capability. This allows you to observe intricate details in butterflies, insects, or birds at feeders without sacrificing clarity. Whether you're watching a hawk soaring in the sky or a butterfly resting on a flower, you'll enjoy razor-sharp precision at any distance.

All-Day Comfort Without the Bulk

At just 703 grams, these binoculars are lightweight yet incredibly tough. The ergonomic grip and non-slip rubberized exterior provide a secure hold, even in wet conditions. With long eye relief and twist-up eyecups, they are perfect for both eyeglass and non-eyeglass users.

Includes a Premium, Heavy-Duty Carrying Case

Unlike flimsy nylon cases that offer minimal protection, these binoculars come with a rugged 900D sailcloth carrying case, designed for maximum durability, impact resistance, and easy transport.
