With 10 X magnification, the NL Pure Green 10 x 32 binocular brings you closer to the action. 

These binoculars are perfect for open forest and open field environments.

NOTE: FRP Forehead Rest is NOT included. This is separate item.

Phils Review: "I have found these binoculars to be perfect for open forest and other open areas such as paddocks and lightly timbered pastures or open grasslands. The 32 mm size is perfect for those that may want the 10 x performance but a little lighter quality bino."

With 8 X magnification, the NL Pure Green 8 x 32 binocular brings you closer to the action. 

These binoculars are perfect for bird watching in close cover such as rainforest.

NOTE: Does not come with headrest. Headrest is an optional extra.

Phils Review: "If you are looking for the a light high end binocular to look at birds or wildlife in close cover or heavy rainforest then this is the pair for you. The optics really pull out the detail of the birds in the trees."
