ED glass meets phase-coating in Alpen's top-tier Apex XP series. The Alpen Apex XP 10x42 ED (653) takes the excellent Apex foundation and adds extra-low dispersion glass for color-correction that puts it in direct competition with binoculars at significantly higher price points.

What will you see? Bird plumage in truly accurate colors with zero fringing even against bright skies, raptors and shorebirds at range with edge-to-edge sharpness, and on clear nights, Saturn's rings and Jupiter's cloud bands with crisp, clean detail. ED glass is genuinely visible every time you compare it to standard optics.

Easy to use? Yes. Waterproof magnesium alloy housing, PXA phase-coated prisms, generous eye relief for glasses wearers, and a precise center focus. One of the best 10x42 binoculars available at this price.

What's included? Binoculars, neck strap, lens covers, rainguard, and cleaning pen.
