Don't forget to take your Steiner Marine binoculars with you on your next trip to the water. If you don't have a pair, you'd best go shopping. When reviewing the Marine Line, you find nothing but quality as this is what Steiner demands in each product.
When on or near the water, having a quality pair of binoculars is extremely important. Anything can happen when one is around water and safety must be considered at all times. Binoculars are part of being safe; regardless if you are on board a water craft or sitting on the beach.
The Series
Quality is Steiner's middle name and it can be found in each of the three Marine series currently available. These three are the Steiner Commander XP and Commander V Series, the Navigator Compact Series and the Marine and Observer Series. Each series holds binoculars that are powerful and durable too.
Steiner Commander XP and Commander V Series - If you are looking for durable binoculars, then this is the line for you. This series also offers the features of being fog proof and waterproof and also shock resistant. Excellent visibility is obtained by bright optics regardless if performance is required during the day or at night. This series offers the most advanced binoculars you will find today and with Steiner's 30-day warranty (which is available on all Steiner Marine binoculars) and the quality they provide, then you know that you will be making a secure investment.
Navigator Compact Series - The models in this series are both compact and lightweight and without any loss of performance. Each model has good balance and a slim design which makes them perfect to have while watching the waves or navigating across the seas.
Marine and Observer Series - Models which offer the same quality as other Steiner binoculars and are priced reasonably.
