The Alpen Wings 8x26 is a slim, open-bridge pair of binoculars designed for hiking and travel. The open-bridge frame is easy to grip and lighter than a traditional body, so it's comfortable to carry and use for long stretches.

An "open bridge" simply means the two barrels are joined by twin hinges with an open gap, giving you room to wrap your hand fully around the binoculars for a secure hold.

Who it's for

Hikers and travelers who want a slim, lightweight pair that's comfortable to hold and easy to pack. New to choosing optics? Read our guide to astronomy binoculars vs a telescope for beginners.
