Engineered for Maximum Optical Performance

When you're in the field, every second counts. Whether you’re spotting birds, tracking wildlife, or enjoying scenic views, you need binoculars that keep up with the action.

With premium BaK-4 prisms, the Alpen Black Tusk 10x42 ED Binoculars provide:

  • Brighter images with reduced light scatter
  • Higher contrast and sharper edge-to-edge clarity
  • A superior viewing experience in all conditions

Unlike cheaper BK-7 prisms, the BaK-4 prism system enhances brightness and detail, making it ideal for both long-distance viewing and close-range observations.


Unmatched Low-Light Performance

Many binoculars struggle in twilight conditions, leading to dull, washed-out images. The Alpen Black Tusk 10x42 ED, with its light intensity of 17.64 and a twilight factor of 20.49, ensures stunning clarity even in low light.

Whether you’re watching a hawk soaring at sunset or spotting deer at dawn, these binoculars maximize brightness, contrast, and detail when you need it most.


Built for Extreme Weather & Harsh Conditions

Outdoor enthusiasts don’t have time to worry about fragile equipment. That’s why these binoculars are:

  • Waterproof (1m for 30 minutes) – No worries about rain, splashes, or accidental submersion.
  • Fog-proof – Nitrogen-filled to prevent internal fogging, even in sudden temperature changes.
  • Reinforced for durability – Unlike cheaper models with plastic parts, the metal focus and diopter rings add long-term resilience.


Effortless Tracking with Deep, Stable Focus

Tired of constantly refocusing? The superior depth of field on the Alpen Black Tusk 10x42 ED allows you to spend less time adjusting and more time immersed in the view.

For close-range enthusiasts, the 2.5m close focus capability ensures you can observe intricate details in insects, flowers, or birds at feeders with crystal-clear precision.


Lightweight Design for All-Day Comfort

  • At just 703 grams, these binoculars are lightweight yet incredibly tough.
  • Ergonomic, non-slip grip ensures a comfortable hold, even in wet conditions.
  • Long eye relief and twist-up eyecups make them perfect for both eyeglass and non-eyeglass users.

  • Maximum durability & impact resistance
  • Extra storage compartment for accessories
  • Easy transport & protection
