Women’s Binoculars / Binoculars for Women
August 5, 2010 | Posted by Best Binocular Reviews 
Having recently written a review on the Eschenbach 8×25 Club W Binoculars, designed especially for women, I thought it may be an idea to put a page together of a few of the best women’s binoculars to make finding them easier for you.
Binoculars for Women?
If you were hoping to find that a binocular designed for women would have some sort of special eyepiece, or some magical lenses that only work for women, I am sorry to disappoint you. Technically there is no difference between “normal” binoculars and womens binoculars. The difference is in the styling, because most binoculars have a strong masculine look to them, a few manufacturers have decided to design some of the binoculars with more of a feminine touch.
Nikon SHE Safari Monarch 10×36 Binoculars
This is not only one of my favourite looking women’s binoculars, but under the styling is a pair of the excellent Nikon Monarch 10×36 DCF binoculars.
Nikon Sport Optics and SHE Outdoor Apparel have come together and designed binoculars specially for a woman. The mid-sized 10×36 Safari binoculars offer women the best of both worlds – trademark Nikon optical performance and attractive SHE styling.
This mid-size binocular makes an ideal travelling companion: It is lightweight, waterproof, fogproof and comes with a protective rubber-armored coating. This with the powerful 10x magnification means I would highly recommend it as an ideal safari binocular.
Features
Make no mistake, these are high quality binoculars and the main features include
- Fully Multi-coated Lenses
Increase light transmission with multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces. - Phase Correction Coated Prisms
Enhances resolution and contrast through roof prisms. - Waterproof
The Optics are sealed with O-rings to prevent moisture, dust, and debris from getting inside the binocular. - Fogproof
Barrels are filled with nitrogen gas to prevent internal fogging.
Accessories
The binocular comes with a great looking and excellent quality embossed leather binocular strap in a chocolate brown colour as well as a leather and canvas shoulder bag in khaki with chocolate brown trim, that has multifunctional pockets and a built-in optics case with plenty of room to store your binoculars as well as a few other goodies making it perfect for travel or day trips. As a point of interest, when sold separately the bag retails for around $80

Cost & Where to Buy
Unfortunately I have not been able to locate this particular pair of Nikon Monarch binoculars in the UK, but the “normal” Nikon 10×36 Monarch’s are available. In the US, they have a List Price of $480.95, but they are available at a few places including Eagle Optics, Binoculars.com and Amazon where they cost just over $300. This price is pretty good considering the standard Nikon 10×36 Monarch ATB Binoculars also cost a similar amount.
Nikon SHE Adventure Monarch 8×36 ATB Binoculars
Like the Safari version above, these Nikon SHE Adventure binoculars are designed around the very popular Monarch ATB binoculars. The Adventure binoculars come in a “Kiwi and Plum” theme and the binocular has an 8×36 configuration, giving you a wider field of view, making these binoculars more suitable as birdwatching binoculars.
The mid-sized plum 8×36 Adventure binoculars offer women the best of both worlds – trademark Nikon optical performance and attractive SHE styling.

This price is pretty good considering the standard Nikon 8×36 Monarch ATB Binoculars also cost a similar amount.
Eschenbach 8×25 Club W Binoculars
Eschenbach have spent a lot of time on the styling, but it does not stop there as within the impressive mother-of-pearl effect body are state of the art optics that will please even the most discerning user.
These 8×25 binoculars come with quality BaK-4 prisms and the lenses are fully multi-coated. The Club W binoculars is also 100% waterproof and has been nitrogen purged, making them fogproof as well.
The more compact 8×25 configuration make these binoculars ideal sports binoculars and I could see them being used to take to a day at the horse races, Wimbledon or other stroll in the countryside.
Accessories
They are supplied with a stylish white soft leather carry case, padded strap and draw string pouch for protection when carried in a hand bag.
