With trails being unpredictable or lengthy, binoculars need to stand up to a certain amount of bashing. Especially if you’ll be doing any climbing to get a better vantage point.
Here, we found the Monarch 5 are designed for heavy-duty use while still remaining extremely lightweight, compact, and easy to carry.
Additionally, the entire body of this pair is covered with a durable rubber coating. Thus, the Monarch 5 will resist chipping, shattering, or any other type of damage if bumped or dropped.
What’s more, they are fully waterproof so excellent for all conditions, and are fog-resistant for those dull days or first thing in the morning.
