Product Description

One of the advantages of a full-size binocular is that the objective lens is larger. It lets in more light, increases the viewing field, offering you a better perspective. The Nikon Monarch ATB 8x42 binoculars offer rugged construction for waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof performance and have a 42mm objective for bright views. 8 times magnification brings objects virually 8-times closer than your naked eye can see. The Monarch is designed for outdoor use, whether birding, hiking, camping, biking, or virtually anything outdoors. Fully insulated, the Monarch reigns supreme in being able to deliver outstanding performance whether you're in wet or dry conditions, hot or cold. It's completely waterproof and fogproof. Of course, it is made by Nikon and that means top optical integrity. This model employs Eco-Glass, an environmentally friendly material made without the use of arsenic or lead. Every lens surface is multicoated with anti-reflective compounds to maximize light transmission for bright, color-correct images. Eyeglass wearers will be able to use these because they have a long eye relief and twistable rubber eye cups that offers ideal viewing with glasses or without. Nikon stands firmly on the quality of these binoculars. They include a Nikon USA 25-Year Limited Warranty for your long-term assurance. For your active, rugged, outdoor lifestyle, the Monarch is a top performer. You deserve the best.

Customer Reviews

WOW !!! DEFINITE BUY !!!
After reading numerous reviews on Amazon and checking Consumer Reports reviews(they had rated these tops for the price range)I decided to take a chance on these. I can say that these are without a doubt the absolute best I have ever seen in this price range. I have purchased many many other sets over the years, including one very expensive pair by a famous German company (Starts with a S and ends with an R):)
These blow them all away !!! Even the set that was 3 times the cost.
The clarity and ease of use is amazing.
Don't let the eyepiece comments on other reviews stop you from getting your hands on the last pair of binoculars you will probably ever buy.
A simple "soak and mold" in hot water will shape the covers to a perfect snug fit over the eyepiece.
Buy a set ASAP and see what you have been missing, and your wallet will still have enough in it to get the other goodies on your X-Mas list.
Absolutely blown away by these ! You will be too !

good birding binos will not disappoint
A month into use and I can say that these are great binoculars for the price point. Brightness, clarity, and colors are noticeably good and provides for a satifying birding experience. I can see why the product has received so many positive reviews.

Almost perfect field binocs
I am a wildlife biologist (mostly birds) who uses binocs for work all the time. I ordered the Nikon monarch 8x42s after losing my previous pair (same model) in the field. They are the best binoculars for the money in my opinion, plus they are lightweight and pretty rugged as binocs go. They have changed the design since my first pair, now instead of having guaranteed-to-lose cheap covers for the lenses, the have attached the lenscaps to the binocs with a little plastic strap (not in the photo on amazon). At first I was happy with this improvement, unfortunately after 1 month one lenscap has broken off and the other strap is tearing and will probably go soon. Why they don't give you decent lenscaps is beyond me. If you use these a lot you will probably lose the caps, be warned. Still a great product for the money though, my favorite field work binoculars. Get a lenspen or some wipes to keep them clean since they don't have caps!
