Features
Delta Forest 8x42 Gen3 binoculars deliver bright, sharp, true-to-life views in a compact, durable package. Built around premium ED glass, phase-corrected prisms and advanced anti-reflective coatings, these binoculars provide high contrast and colour fidelity even as the light fades. The magnesium-aluminium chassis cuts weight without sacrificing strength, while the open-hinge, rubber-armoured design improves balance and grip during long glassing sessions. With versatile 8× power and 42 mm objectives, the Forest 8x42 Gen3 balances reach, brightness and easy handholding—ideal for everyday use across hunting, wildlife observation and general outdoor viewing.
Optical refinement meets hard-wearing construction. ED elements minimise chromatic aberration for crisp edges on fine detail such as plumage or antler tips, while phase correction preserves resolution across the field. Multi-layer coatings boost transmission and help suppress flare at first and last light. A robust magnesium-alloy chassis resists knocks and temperature swings, and the rubberised armour shields the optics from everyday bumps in the pack or ute. Nitrogen filling and precise sealing keep the interior fog-free and waterproof when weather and humidity shift.
Comfort and control matter over long sessions. Twist-up eyecups suit glasses wearers and non-wearers, with a smooth dioptre to fine-tune for each eye. The central focus wheel transitions cleanly from near to far, helping you lock on to moving subjects quickly. The open-hinge design allows a secure wrap for steadier handholding at 8×, reducing fatigue and improving tracking. Balanced weight and grippy armour enhance stability, while the compact form factor carries easily on a strap or in a daypack.
Reliable, bright and easy to live with, Delta Forest 8x42 Gen3 binoculars are a versatile choice for daily glassing. With ED glass, phase-corrected prisms and a tough waterproof build, they deliver the clarity and durability needed for varied Australian conditions.
