## Description

Vanguard's Endeavor ED binoculars provide nature and outdoor enthusiasts high performance features at an incredible value. Premium ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass with MultiGuard coatings allow for sharp, bright images and high contrast even in low-light conditions. The ED glass aligns the colors to meet at the same focal plane to reduce the chromatic aberration and obtain the highest resolution and image contrast. As a result, the image is sharper.Endeavor ED features an ergonomic, open-bridge design that's comfortable to use, along with a lightweight magnesium alloy body, large center focus wheel, and 3 stage twist out eyecups, . Nitrogen-charged and O-ring sealed, the Endeavor ED is water and fog proof to take on challenging weather conditions. Emerald Coating is specifically designed to provide the full spectrum of color within the band of green tones. This coating is essential for nature enthusiasts, because it ensures the most vivid and natural shades of green.P2 Phase Coating was developed for enhanced image clarity and true color reproduction. Vanguard's P2 phase-coated BaK4 prisms creates crystal clear images and high resolution observation. V-Max Silver Coating provides crisper, more vivid images and sharper contrast due to impressive light reflection. Anti-Reflection Coating on all air-to-surface lenses dramatically minimizes light reflection on the lens. Coupled with fully multi-coated treatment, it ensures near perfect light transmission and image recognition, enabling the brightest images possible, even on the sunniest days.

Review: A great value - It was time for a new pair of binoculars for birding, but I did not want to spend $1000 to $1500 for a quality pair. Reviews pointed to the Vanguard Endeavor series and I'm glad I followed them. These 8X42 Endeavors are sturdy and waterproof and feel like they will last a long time (in any case, they come with a no questions asked Lifetime Warranty). They work well with my eyeglasses. The right-eye adjustment locks in place. Focusing is easy. They are brilliant and extremely sharp across the entire field of view (which is a bit narrower than expected). With the $50 rebate, they are 1/4 the price of top of the line binoculars, and you hardly give up any quality. (Full disclosure: Vanguard provided a gift to any purchaser who writes an on-line review-good or bad-at the vendor's site, so I should receive a lens cleaning kit for posting this).
Review: Excelent - The Quality of the image is second to none.... you would hardly see the difference against $1000 plus glass. Love the pouch and caps, great eye relief can wear with normal sized vision glasses, great weight for the quality of image.
