Hawke no-fault lifetime warranty

Covered for life. Whatever happened.

Drop them, drown them, sit on them, leave them in the rain — if a Hawke binocular or scope you buy from us becomes damaged or defective, Hawke will repair or replace it at no cost. No quibbles about how it happened, no fault-finding, no charge. It’s genuinely the best warranty in the industry, and it’s one of the main reasons we stock them.

A quick aside

Wait — what’s a monocular?

A monocular is essentially half a binocular — one tube, one eyepiece, same optical quality. Significantly smaller, lighter, and cheaper than a binocular of the same glass grade. Brilliant for popping in a jacket pocket on a walk, taking to the theatre, or keeping in the glove compartment for spontaneous wildlife sightings.

The trade-off: you’re looking with one eye only, which can be tiring over long periods. For sustained birdwatching at a hide, a binocular wins. For everything else — especially “I want something good but don’t want to carry it” — a monocular is often the smarter choice.

Available across most of the Hawke ranges. Just ask.

What for?

The right binoculars depend entirely on what you’ll be looking at.

Different uses call for different specifications — weight, magnification, low-light performance, image clarity. Here’s a quick guide to what we’d typically recommend for the most common reasons people come in.

Birdwatching
Light enough to hold steady for long periods, sharp enough to see plumage detail at distance, and quick to focus on a bird that won’t sit still. 8x42 is the classic format.
Try: Nature Trek or Endurance
Wildlife & nature
For deer, foxes, badgers, rabbits — anything that doesn’t want to be seen. Wider field of view and better low-light glass matter most. Compact pairs travel better on a walk.
Try: Endurance or Frontier APO
General outdoors & walking
Light, robust, sealed against rain, easy on the budget — the kind of pair you actually carry in your bag rather than leaving in a drawer.
Try: Vantage or Nature Trek
Astronomy & stargazing
Image quality matters most here — you’re looking at faint objects against deep darkness. Premium glass (ED or APO) and larger objective lenses make all the difference.

The Hawke ranges

Four tiers. Same warranty across all of them.

Hawke ranges step up in optical quality and price as you move through Vantage, Nature Trek, Endurance and Frontier APO. The good news: even the entry-level Vantage is properly capable kit; the further up you go, the more you get in glass quality, low-light performance, and finish. Click any range to see the models.
