Vanguard 8×21 Vesta Compact 21 Binoculars (Black Pearl)

Ideal for when you’re hiking the trail, sightseeing around town, or enjoying a show or game, the Black Pearl Vanguard 8×21 Vesta Compact 21 Binoculars are designed to be compact and extremely lightweight for easy carrying and use. Their 8x magnification brings things up close while preserving the generous field of view and providing a wider exit pupil and longer eye relief than the more powerful 10x model. Measuring just 3.7″ long, they will easily fit in just about any pocket, pack, or purse, and at under 7 ounces they won’t weigh you down when you have to carry them all day. This version of the Vesta comes in an elegant and refined Black Pearl body color.
