Who the Outland X 8x25 suits
A pocket carry at 11.5 oz and a very wide 8.2 degree view suit travel and short walks. The 56 to 72 mm eye spacing range fits most adult faces.
Relief of 9.3 mm is far below the 15 mm median, so eyeglass wearers will lose part of the view, and the 3.1 mm exit pupil is small at dusk.
