Leupold® 8x 42mm Cascades Binoculars in black or natural finish are center-focus, roof-prism binoculars that give you the sharp, bright images with the full contrast and color fidelity serious birders demand even when the light is low. Their in-line design makes them trim, lightweight, and a pleasure to use, whether you're in the backyard or away at more far-flung locales. And the slim in-line design is ergonomic and easy to grip in all weather conditions.
Leupold Cascades binoculars offer a crisp, bright sight picture, twist-up eyecups and long eye relief, even with eyeglasses. The center-focus, dial-mounted, lockable diopter secures your diopter setting against accidental shifts. They also feature a rain guard, rugged construction, shock-absorbing rubber armor, and multi-coated lenses for brightness and clarity. Limited lifetime warranty.
From humble immigrant beginnings, Leupold grew, based on a promise of quality, to become a classic American company. In 1907, Fred Leupold set up a one-man shop at 5th and Oak streets in Portland, Ore., to repair surveying equipment. He was joined by his brother-in-law, Adam Voelpel, and later by inventor John Cyprian Stevens, and the foundations for a century of success were in place.
During Leupold's second half-century, the company has focused heavily on the sports optics business. Leupold's presence in the hunting and shooting market expands, and finally dominates, with innovative optics and features that are now legendary among hunters, shooters, and outdoors enthusiasts. Many of the industry's standards - nitrogen waterproofing, the Duplex® reticle, and more - are Leupold creations.
