Binoculars have one purpose—making distant objects look near (as long as you’re peering in the right end). The<br />
technology was invented a few hundred years ago, and ever since, creating the perfect pair of binoculars has been<br />
more about refi nement than advancement. Steiner’s Peregrine XP binoculars are nothing if not refi ned.<br />
With technical specs straight out of a luxury car catalog (high pressure die-cast, lightweight magnesium chassis<br />
and water-repelling “NANO-Protection” coating), not to mention ergonomic gel-fi lled grips, these binoculars are the<br />
most sophisticated and attractive way to make things appear closer than they are.<br />
