10× power in your pocket – detail-rich ED optics on the go
The ALPEN OPTICS Chisos 10×25 ED delivers 10× magnification in a body that weighs just 265 g and fits into a jacket pocket. Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements virtually eliminate chromatic aberration, producing sharp, colour-true images across the entire field. BaK-4 roof prisms with PXA phase correction coating and UBX fully multi-coated optics push light transmission up to 95 %, ensuring bright, high-contrast views even in challenging light. A 114 m field of view at 1’000 m gives you a generous panorama, while the 5 m close focus lets you observe butterflies and flowers in fine detail. Whether you are identifying birds from a hide or scanning a stadium from the stands, the Chisos 10×25 delivers the reach you need without the bulk.

True-colour 10× optics in a weather-sealed pocket body – see further, carry less
Extra-low dispersion glass minimises chromatic aberration so colours remain vivid and edges stay crisp even at 10× magnification. The PXA phase correction coating on the BaK-4 roof prisms further enhances contrast and resolution, while UBX fully multi-coated lens surfaces push light transmission up to 95 %. An IPX7 waterproof rating combined with nitrogen purging guarantees fog-free, moisture-proof performance from −10 °C to +50 °C.
10× magnification meets 25 mm compactness – reach without weight
A 10× magnification factor pulls distant subjects close, making the Chisos 10×25 ideal for sports events, wildlife observation and travel. Despite the higher power, the 25 mm objectives keep the body ultra-compact at 106 × 101 × 47 mm. The twilight factor of 18.33 and brightness index of 27.56 confirm that this pocket binocular punches well above its size class, delivering usable images even as daylight fades.
IPX7 waterproof & nitrogen purged – built for the elements
The Chisos 10×25 is sealed to IPX7 standards, surviving immersion in up to 1 m of water for 30 minutes. Internal nitrogen purging prevents fogging when moving between temperature extremes. The polycarbonate housing with rubber armouring absorbs shocks and provides a secure grip even in wet conditions. With an operating range of −10 °C to +50 °C, these binoculars handle anything from alpine snow to tropical humidity.
