Most of us have had an occasion when we’ve wished we had a pair of binoculars to hand. However the bulk and weight that often goes with such devices means that 99% of the time we don’t, as carrying them involves foresight and planning ahead. And, when it comes to holidays and travel when we might actively consider packing one, do we really want to be carrying a binocular around all day for sightseeing if we’re only occasionally going to use it?
Enter the Vanguard Vesta 8x21. This one could potentially tick the box for casual observers by virtue of being lightweight at just 195g and so compact that it will fit within the flat palm of our hand, or slip readily into a jacket pocket, handbag or man bag.
