The Steiner 2059 Predator 10x42mm binoculars bring serious optical performance to hunters and field spotters who demand clarity at distance without dragging extra weight. Built on Steiner's Predator Diamond Coating technology—a proprietary lens treatment that boosts light transmission and contrast—these 10x binoculars cut through haze and low-light conditions with the kind of definition that separates a spotting opportunity from a clean stalk. At 26.3 ounces and compact dimensions, they're designed to live in your pack or hand during a full day in the field without wearing you down.

The 10x magnification is the workhorse of open-country hunting and glassing field edges, giving you enough reach to read terrain and spot game movement at legitimate distances. The fast-close-focus system—a hallmark of Steiner's design—means you're not wasting rotations of the central wheel to snap from arm's length to infinity; that matters when a glass is on your face more than it's in your pack. Close focus lands at 6.6 feet, letting you inspect tracks, sign, and foreground detail without dropping the glass. A 324-foot field of view at 1000 yards keeps you oriented even at higher magnification, critical when you're picking apart a distant ridgeline or canyon side.

Steiner backs these with nitrogen-filled optics to kill internal fogging, NBR long-life rubber armoring for grip and impact absorption, and full waterproofing—the kind of durability you expect from a brand with roots in military and professional use. The ergonomic rotary eyecups dial in to your eye relief, and the universal neck strap mount keeps them accessible. A carry case ships with the binoculars, so you're set to get to work straight out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Steiner Predator 10x42mm binoculars waterproof and fog-proof?

Yes. They're fully waterproof and filled with nitrogen to prevent internal fogging, so they'll handle wet conditions and temperature swings without compromising optical clarity.

What's the close focus distance, and can I use these for close-range spotting?

Close focus is 6.6 feet, which lets you examine detail at reasonably close range—handy for reading sign or glassing brush up close—while the fast-close-focus mechanism means you're not cranking the wheel endlessly to get sharp focus at near distances.

What comes in the box?

You get the binoculars, a carry case, and a universal neck strap, so you're ready to use them right away.

Is the 10x magnification suitable for hunting open country?

Yes. The 10x magnification is built for open-country hunting and field-edge glassing, giving you the reach to spot game movement and read terrain at legitimate distances while maintaining a 324-foot field of view at 1000 yards—wide enough to stay oriented and track movement without losing situational awareness.
