Clamber over rocky terrain and splash through shallow streams with the Leupold 12x 50mm Olympic™ Binoculars in black finish. These binoculars are not only small and lightweight but they are also tough waterproof and wilderness-ready. Well-designed and built solid they are 100 percent waterproof in any condition with bright sharp sight pictures.

In rough terrain or on extended hunts size and weight are a concern - but you also don't want to miss a trophy because of optics that are not up to the task. These Leupold Olympic binoculars solve both problems. They offer a crisp bright sight picture twist-up eyecups and long eye relief. They feature a rain shed rugged construction and shock-absorbing rubber armor.

These phase-coated roof-prism center-focus binoculars also feature multi-coated lenses for brightness and clarity and the ergonomically designed body fits well in any size of hands. Black finish. Limited lifetime warranty.

From humble immigrant beginnings Leupold grew based on a promise of quality to become a classic American company. In 1907 Fred Leupold set up a one-man shop at 5th and Oak streets in Portland Ore. to repair surveying equipment. He was joined by his brother-in-law Adam Voelpel and later by inventor John Cyprian Stevens and the foundations for a century of success were in place.

During Leupold's second half-century the company has focused heavily on the sports optics business. Leupold's presence in the hunting and shooting market expands and finally dominates with innovative optics and features that are now legendary among hunters shooters and outdoors enthusiasts. Many of the industry's standards - nitrogen waterproofing the Duplex reticle and more - are Leupold creations.
