Hawke Endurance ED 7x32 Marine Binoculars in Blue

The Hawke Endurance ED Marine Binoculars are 7x32 in blue, on roof prisms with a 1/4-20 tripod mount.

Thirty-two millimeters is the compact option in the marine range, against the 50mm standard. That halves the front glass and takes real weight and bulk out of the binocular. The cost is light. A 32mm objective at 7x gives a 4.6mm exit pupil against the 50mm's 7mm, so these are noticeably dimmer at dawn and dusk while being just as good in daylight.

For a small boat, a kayak or a day sailor where stowage is tight and everything happens in daylight, that is a sensible trade. Waterproof construction and ED glass carry over from the larger models, so the optical quality is the same in a smaller body. Explore more outdoor optics and navigation.
