The Hawke Endurance ED 8x32 Green (Model: 36201) is a compact roof-prism binocular engineered for active stalking, day hunting, and wildlife observation. Built around the Hawke System H5 optical design, it integrates Extra-low Dispersion (ED) objective glass with phase-corrected BaK-4 roof prisms and fully multi-coated optics to minimise chromatic aberration and deliver high-contrast viewing. Encased in a rubber-armoured, top-hinge chassis, it weighs 539 g and is nitrogen-purged and O-ring sealed for waterproof and fog-proof performance across changing Australian field conditions.

Key Features

• ED Optical System: Extra-low Dispersion glass objectives eliminate colour fringing for sharp resolution during daylight and twilight scouting.
• Phase-Corrected BaK-4 Prisms: Silver mirror-coated roof prisms maximize light transmission and edge-to-edge clarity.
• Ergonomic Top-Hinge Design: Lightweight rubber-armoured chassis provides a secure, non-slip grip in wet environments.
• Rapid Focusing: 1.2-turn center focus wheel allows swift focus adjustments from a close focus distance of 2.0 m out to infinity.
• Field Protection: Nitrogen-purged internal housing resists internal fogging, complemented by stay-on tethered objective lens covers.
• Tripod Adaptable: Equipped with an integrated 1/4"-20 UNC threading for standard tripod mounting adapters.

Who is the Hawke Endurance ED 8x32 for?

• Active deer stalkers navigating dense bush terrain — requires an ultra-portable roof-prism compact hunting binocular weighing just 539 g to reduce neck strain and fatigue during all-day mobile carry through heavy cover.
• Hunters and wildlife observers prioritizing ultralight packability — relies on 8x magnification paired with a 4.0 mm exit pupil and 18 mm eye relief to maintain comfortable, full-field viewing during fast daytime glassing without the bulk of full-sized optics.

Less suitable for: Deep dusk, dawn, or night operations requiring an exit pupil greater than 4.0 mm; a full-sized 8x42 binocular (5.25 mm exit pupil) or 8x56 binocular (7.0 mm exit pupil) is better suited for low-light optical gathering.
