The new premium, flagship range of Binoculars from Nikon, the Monarch HG, take their cues from their larger brothers, providing the same level of optical quality and sturdy handling, in a smaller, more travel-friendly package. Physically the Monarch HG's will not fail on you, thanks to a strong magnesium alloy construction, as well as exceptional water and fog-proof qualities. The slimline body is coated in rubber to prevent slippage, even in less-than-ideal conditions.
