See Clearly In the Evening

Over the past few seasons, I've been using a pair of 10x42 from another brand that were supposedly good for low-light situations. Sitting in the stand one evening, I was struggling to see the deer in an open field. And it was only 15mins or so past sunset. I could make out that there were several does and 2 bucks, but I couldn't see their antlers all that well. I mentioned this to my buddy while sitting around the camp fire that night. And the camera photos showed one was a young 4pt, but the other was a deer with a messed up rack we were trying to eliminate. He let me borrow his pair of BX-2's and said to compare them to mine. The next evening, I sat in the same stand and the conditions were the same. When the deer came into the food plot, I could easily pick up the young buck's antlers with ease in BX-2's, but I couldn't with my binos. I waited for the cull buck to show, but he never did. Before getting down for the night, I ordered the BX-2, 10x52 from the stand! The binoculars themselves are fantastic! I hunt deer in the SE from a combo of blinds (ground and elevated), ladder stands, and climbers that look over meadows, wide open foodplots, lane cuts in a tree plantation, and the woods. These are definitely a step or 3 above what I was using. The only knock I have is the harness that came with the case. The case itself is fine, but the straps are flimsy and bunch up. It is clearly not the "Go Afield" harness, but hey, I really cannot complain about a free bino harness, right?

Great for Bird watching

By Julio L.

Bought for my wife and she loves them. They are rugged, rubber coating allows for great grip from any part of the binoculars. They grab tons of light and often objects appear brighter than the outside environment. Have several Leopold products and definitely recommend.

Many consider the 10x binocular to be the sweet spot when it comes to glassing. It offers enough magnification for clear identification in wide-open spaces, and enough field of view for tight areas, all while remaining compact enough to take everywhere.

Whether it's your first binocular or your 50th, your glass needs to give you a bright image, feel comfortable in your hands, and be able to take a beating. Now available with high-definition performance, the BX-2 Alpine HD binocular checks all of these boxes and more. Built around Leupold's Advanced Optical System, it offers tried and true light transmission for extended glassing sessions, best in class glare reduction in harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that recreational sportsmen and sportswomen demand.

It comes with Pro Gear accessories, too: including a GO Afield binocular harness, lens covers, and lens cloth. And like all Leupold binoculars, it's fogproof, waterproof, and guaranteed to perform for life.

Waterproof + Fogproof
From torrential downpours to crossing rivers, you'll never have to worry about a Leupold binocular leaking or fogging up. Our proprietary gas blend and seals can withstand extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks, so the internals of the optic stay moisture-free and crystal clear for life.
