Summer Binocular Buying Guide
The 12x25 Travelite Binoculars from Nikon are a lightweight and compact optic with a powerful magnification to bring distant subjects up close for detailed observations. They feature a fully multicoated optical path and an ergonomic housing—making them an ideal companion for outdoor enthusiasts, sports spectators, and city sightseers alike. Complementing the travel-friendly size are aspherical lenses that reduce the curvature that can distort the field of view as well as BAK4 reverse Porro prisms that work together to present flat high-contrast images with lifelike color and consistent center-to-edge sharpness. Combined with a 13' close focus distance, this 12x25 binoculars is ready for almost any mid- to long-range glassing task. Responsibly sourced and containing no lead or arsenic, Nikon's Eco-Glass is used in all the lenses and prisms, to be ecologically friendly.
