Best for
This is the premium choice for anyone who wants true Leica optics in a binocular small enough to slip into a jacket pocket or day bag. The 8x20 configuration and folding, double-hinge body make it ideal for travel, city breaks, theatre and opera, hillwalking and everyday nature watching, where carrying a full-size binocular is impractical. The rubber armour of the BR version adds grip and protection, while the watertight and fog-proof sealing means it copes happily with rain and changing temperatures.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Leica Ultravid 8x20 BR waterproof?
Yes. It is watertight to a depth of 5m and nitrogen-filled to prevent internal fogging, so it handles rain and temperature changes without misting up.
How compact and portable is it?
Very. It weighs around 240g and uses a folding double-hinge design, so it collapses down to fit easily into a pocket or small bag.
Does it suit spectacle wearers?
The 15mm eye relief and twist or fold-down eyecups make it comfortable to use with or without glasses.
What does BR mean on this Leica model?
BR denotes the rubber-armoured version, giving added grip and knock protection compared with the leather-finished BL variant.
