Brighter and more rugged than previous Leica offerings, the Leica Ultravid 10x25 Compact Binoculars represent an entirely new era in high-performance, compact European binoculars.

The 100% aircraft-grade aluminum housing keeps weight to a minimum while adding considerable ruggedness. The use of ashperical lens technology in the Leica Ultravid Compacts allows for full-size binocular performance in a compact, lightweight body.

It features the new High-Lux System, which is a 42-layer prism coating that produces nearly 100% light transmission per glass-to-air surface, thus giving the user the absolute finest image contrast and most natural color rendition across the entire spectrum. Each eyecup slides up to give most any user a comfortable eye relief.

The Ultravid Compact Binoculars also feature Leica’s industry-leading waterproof submersion rating of 16.5ft and offer Leica’s Passport Protection Plan. The Passport Protection Plan is the only written-out, unlimited lifetime warranty in the high-performance segment of the optics industry. Includes a cordura case with belt loop, woven carrying strap, and eyepiece covers.
