What sets these apart from the rest of the Monarch 7 series is the weight.  The Nikon Monarch 7 8X30 Binocular weighs under one pound.  The 30mm objective lens technology offers one of the most refined binocular visual experiences Nikon has to offer, but in a lighter package. Access the entire spectrum of the rainbow and the clearest resolution with the premium ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass Dielectric Multilayer, phase-correction-coated Prism lenses (They are also scratch resistant!). You will not want to set these down because of the ergonomic sure-grip rubber outer armor.  Like other pieces in this Nikon series, there is ample room between your other glasses and the eye-piece.  Plus, you get a custom fit with the turn-and-slide rubber multi-click eyecups.  Like the monarch 5 series, these offer extra protection with nitrogen-purged waterproof and fogproof housing, and flip-down objective lens covers.
