Athlon Midas G2 UHD 8x42 Hunting Binoculars

Binoculars only earn their keep in the field if the image stays bright and sharp as light fades, which is exactly when most game moves. Athlon's Midas G2 UHD 8x42 uses UHD glass and BaK-4 prisms to push more light through the system than standard optics, so the view stays usable well into legal shooting hours at dawn and dusk.

An 8x magnification paired with a 42mm objective and a 426-foot field of view is a wide, easy-to-scan combination, useful for picking up movement across open ground before you'd catch it at higher power. Eye relief of 17.2mm keeps the view comfortable for glasses wearers, and the fully waterproof housing means a rain-soaked hunt or an accidental dunk in a creek doesn't sideline them. They're also tripod adaptable for long glassing sessions where holding binoculars steady by hand gets tiring.

Between the low-light performance and the wide field of view, these are built for hunters who spend real time glassing terrain rather than a quick look here and there.

Close-focus distance: 6.5 ft; interpupillary distance: 57-74mm.
