Description

Leupold® 8x 42mm Cascades Binoculars in black 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.

      Comments about Leupold 8x42 Cascade Binoculars:

      Just received these binoculars, so I haven't field tested them yet. Selected the Cascades based on an article in the Boundary Waters Journal. I am confident that these rugged binoculars will perform as well as described there. I am impressed with their compactness, ease of use, and clarity.

          Comments about Leupold 8x42 Cascade Binoculars:

          Before purchasing these online I went to the local Sportsmans Warehouse to physically look through all the binoculars to see which ones fit me best. After about 45 minutes of "testing" them and talking with the saleman I decided to purchase these Leupold's. They work great, so far, but just got them so hopefully they continue to impress.

            Comments about Leupold 8x42 Cascade Binoculars:

            I wanted American-made binoculars. While these are Japanese and an excellant product, I wish you had mentioned the country of manufacture. Buying American has become important to me.
            Again, I like these and will keep and enjoy them.

              Comments about Leupold 8x42 Cascade Binoculars:

              Bought the Leupold 8x42 Cascades for loaner binocs. for my not so avid bird-watching friends. They're about to take over as my favorite glass over my Steiner Peregrine 10x42's. At about one fourth the cost, these are really fine. About the only slight negative is the slower focus. Steiner is only one turn full in to out and Leupold is somewhat slower (actually two turns). This is not really a problem but I have to get used to. Optics are really superb for such a reasonable price. Quality and warranty are not an issue. Probably Japanese glass and Leupold is a long run American company. I'm delighted with my purchase!
