The Athlon Midas G2 8×42 UHD Binoculars (Athlon part no. 113009) take their name from the Midas line’s reputation for punching above their price point in this magnification class. The 8×42 configuration is one of the most versatile prescriptions available, balancing a wide field of view for tracking moving game with strong light gathering from the 42mm objective for use into dawn and dusk. A generous 17.2mm of eye relief keeps the binocular comfortable for extended glassing sessions, including for shooters who wear glasses. Athlon built the UHD (Ultra High Definition) line to deliver genuinely sharp, high-contrast images that compete with pricier alternatives. It’s a strong all-around choice for hunters and outdoorsmen who want serious glass without a premium price tag.
