The Alpen Teton 10x42 is a premium pair of binoculars built around Abbe prisms and extra-low dispersion (ED) glass for bright, sharp, color-true views with extra reach. With 10x magnification and 42mm objectives, it pairs premium optics with a comfortable, lightweight magnesium body.

Abbe prisms and quality coatings help it reach around 92% light transmission, so images look bright and true.

Who it's for

Discerning birders and wildlife watchers who want premium optics with more reach in a light, all-day body. See our guide to astronomy binoculars vs a telescope for beginners.
