It’s summer, and vacations are being planned worldwide. In fact, according to Brian Kelly, founder & CEO of The Points Guy, a website that tracks travel trends, “The travel industry is gearing up for 2024 to be the busiest year for travel ever.” Unfortunately, when travelers pack their bags, one item is often overlooked that can significantly enhance their travels - a quality binocular. A lightweight binocular is a must-have for wildlife viewing and birdwatching, closely examining far-off landscape features, and watching a sporting event. And none fit the bill better than GPO USA’s high-quality, affordably priced PASSION™ SD lineup.

“At GPO USA, our goal has always been to produce high-quality optics that give the consumer the best value possible for their hard-earned dollars,” said Mike Jensen, GPO USA owner and CEO. “As a part of the esteemed PASSION™ series – which also includes the PASSION™ ED and PASSION™ HD lineups – the PASSION™ SD series embodies the essence of high-resolution, high-transmission optics in a small, lightweight package that’s great for everyday use, are easy to pack in your luggage or daypack, yet come in at a price anyone can afford.”

The PASSION™ SD line includes six different models – the PASSION™ 8x26 SD and 10x26 SD, PASSION™ 8x34 SD and 10x34 SD, and PASSION™ 8x42 SD and 10x42 SD. The PASSION™ 8x26 SD and 10x26 SD are the most compact units of the six available models, measuring just 4.6 inches and weighing a mere 11.4 oz., or 4.7 inches and 11.6 oz., respectively. The PASSION™ 8x34 SD and 10x34 SD measure 5.1 inches long and weigh 16.07 oz., and 5.0 inches long and weigh 17.02 oz., respectively, while the PASSION™ 8x42 SD and 10x42 SD both measure 5.7 inches long and weigh 24 oz.
