To ensure lasting performance during outdoor activities, the binoculars are designed with argon-filled optical tubes and O-ring seals, making them waterproof and resistant to fogging, even in the event of accidental exposure to water or extreme weather conditions.
Optical Performance
- High 10x magnification brings distant subjects in for close observations
- 42mm objective lenses have good light-gathering capability for use in challenging conditions, such as at dawn and dusk, without being too heavy or bulky
- Compact roof prism light path ensures performance without adding excessive weight and bulk
- Phase-correcting prism coatings eliminate internal interference to improve color and contrast
- Dielectric prism coatings boost internal prism reflectivity to greater than 99% to maximize light transmission through the prism with minimal loss and diffraction
- High-density (HD), extra-low dispersion (ED) glass lens elements reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations for increased contrast and improved color rendition and sharpness without distortion across the entire field of view
- Anti-reflection fully multicoated optics increase light transmission for accurate color fidelity and improved contrast and clarity
- ArmorTek exterior lens coatings resist scratches and abrasions while allowing oil, dirt, and sap to be cleaned off without leaving smudges or residue
- Short 5-foot close focus distance is ideal for making detailed observations of small subjects like birds, bees, insects, flora & fauna at feeders and flower beds
- Wide 63° apparent angle of view helps to reduce the appearance of the distracting hand shake that is common when holding high-power optics such as this
- 100-meter field of view at 1000 yards
Use and Handling
- Closed bridge configuration provides a solid platform for the internal focusing mechanism
- Large slip-resistant center focus knob is easy to manipulate in cold and wet weather or while wearing gloves
- Right eye dioptric correction lets you compensate for individual eye prescription for tack-sharp views
- 55-73 mm interpupillary distance range allows easy viewing by a wide variety of users
- Twist-up click-stop rubber eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear
- Tripod mountable with an optional adapter for hands-free use to reduce vibration and arm fatigue
- 15mm eye relief reduces eyestrain to make for more comfortable viewing
- 4.2mm exit pupil will completely cover most pupils as they open and dilate in low light to ensure the whole scene remains in view without vignetting
Construction Details
- Short bridge design provides more gripping area on the optical tubes for steadier views and more room for larger hands
- Magnesium alloy chassis reduces weight without sacrificing strength or stability
- Rubber armoring provides protection from bumps and impacts while offering a positive slip-resistant grip in cold and wet weather
- O-ring sealed and argon-filled to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme changes in temperature or environmental conditions
- Tethered objective lens caps and one-piece ocular rainguard protect the lens surfaces without the fear of losing them when not in use
- GlassPak binoculars harness & case holds the optic close to your body to keep it safe and secure without swinging or hanging when moving or climbing over rough terrain
