Compact Binoculars

Compact binoculars are the packable, lightweight pick for travel, hiking, backpacking, concerts and live events. With objectives around 30mm and under, they slip into a jacket pocket or daypack so you carry real optics without the bulk.

We stock compacts from Kite Optics, Bresser and Alpen Optics, including the Kite Lynx HD+ 8x30 and Alpen Chisos 6.5x32 ED. Small objectives keep weight and size down while ED and HD glass hold detail sharp for grab-and-go use.

Not sure which size fits your trips? Our Binoculars Buyer's Guide covers magnification, objective size and eye relief.
