"How can an instrument of this calibre be offered at such an attractive retail price? I think that’s probably down to the unique cross fertilisation of brains behind the company; founded as it was by professionals from across the leading European optics houses, who bring an eclectic mix of ideas to the table.
This, together with the fact that their products are quality controlled in Germany before being shipped out to retailers, gives the consumer much greater confidence of obtaining a quality instrument that will stand the test of time. And that 10 year European warranty ensures that they will take care of your binocular should you hit any snags!" Review by Neil English

GPO Passion ED 32mm binoculars designed in Germany and manufactured to a very high standard.
Extra low dispersion ED glass with custom multi-layer optical coatings and Ѕсhmіdt-Ресhаn рrіѕms deliver very high optical performance.
Sharpness extends across almost the entire field of view.
Contrast and colour accuracy is excellent and light transmission is 90%+.
The body is built around a durable and lightweight magnesium chassis. Fit and finish is very impressive!
The binoculars compact size with tactile surfaces ensure they are comfortable to use for long periods.
They are also water-proof, fog-proof and have a water repellent coating on the objective lenses (rain drops roll off) so can be used with confidence in all weather.
