Since the beginning, Steiner Binoculars has always focused on creating new optics
technologies. Many revolutionary innovations were not only developed by Steiner,
but set the standards for future products with all binocular manufacturers. Steiner innovations
include rubber armoring, the first binoculars ever with an integrated compass,
the first binocular with special optical coating to protect against harmful UV
radiation, the pocket-size binocular, and the new Predator lens coating to increase
contrast of animals against wooded backgrounds.
