General Purpose Binoculars

The 10x binocular is the Jack of all trades when it comes to glassing. It provides enough field of view for tight areas, while delivering enough magnification for wide-open spaces. 

If you don't need a ton of magnification but still want to let in a little more light, the BX®-2 Alpine® HD 8x42mm is the perfect optic for the job. It delivers HD performance and enough magnification to identify animals in most scenarios, but is still compact enough to take everywhere.
