Born from obsession
with the details.
IN THE FIELD — SHELTER ISLAND, NY.
Double Lion is not a brand in the conventional sense. It is a studio of limited releases — small batches of objects conceived as tools first, and statements second. Every piece is designed to do one thing exceptionally well, then get out of the way.
Founded by two brothers that grew up in and around the ocean, Double Lion was created to manufacture products that encourage adventure and observation whether its in your backyard or on a new continent on an expedition.
Our binoculars are meant to be taken everywhere. They are equally fit to live in your car's cupholder to check the waves every morning or to be with you on the west face of El Capitan while big wall climbing. Double Lion binoculars are made to last by manufacture craftsman that have been building high quality binoculars for over give generations.
"We wanted an object that disappears into the moment — light enough to forget, precise enough to remember."
— The Founders
Machined aluminum.
Each housing is CNC-machined from a single aluminum billet and hard-anodized for a finish that resists salt, sun, and the everyday abuse of being carried from the cockpit to the pilothouse.
Glass that earns its place.
Multi-coated, high-index lenses tuned for edge-to-edge clarity. No fringing, no compromise — the kind of glass you stop noticing the moment you start looking through it.
Built to be carried.
Small enough for a jacket pocket, light enough to forget you brought them — until the moment you need them.
