The textured rubber armouring provides a secure, slip-resistant grip, and the included case, strap, and lens cloth complete the package for immediate field use.
Key Features:
- 8x Magnification with 42mm Objectives – The 8x magnification provides a steady, wide view ideal for scanning and tracking, while the 42mm objective lenses gather ample light for bright, clear images even in low-light conditions. This combination is perfect for hiking, birdwatching, and general outdoor observation.
- BAK4 Roof Prisms with Multi-Coated Optics – Premium BAK4 prism glass renders enhanced clarity and brightness with a round exit pupil and minimal edge distortion. Anti-reflective multi-layer lens coatings reduce glare, improve contrast, and maximise light transmission for sharp, detailed images.
- 410-Foot Wide Field of View – The expansive 410-foot field of view at 1000 yards with a wide 62.5° apparent angle allows you to track fast-moving subjects and scan broad landscapes with ease. This wide field is essential for birdwatching, hunting, and sporting events.
- Nitrogen-Filled Waterproof and Fog-Proof Construction – O-ring sealed and nitrogen-filled, these binoculars are fully waterproof and fog-proof. This ensures reliable performance in rain, snow, and humid conditions without internal fogging or moisture ingress.
- Closed-Bridge Configuration with Large Focus Knob – The closed-bridge design provides a stable platform for the large knurled center focusing wheel. The oversized focus knob is easy to reach and precise, even when wearing gloves.
- Twist-Up Eyecups with 17mm Eye Relief – The adjustable twist-up rubber eyecups accommodate both eyeglass wearers and non-users, providing comfortable viewing with full field of view. The 17mm eye relief ensures a full image for those who wear prescription glasses.
- Slip-Resistant Textured Rubber Armouring – The rubber armouring features soft ridges that maintain a secure, non-slip grip in wet or sweaty conditions. This durable exterior also protects against impacts and provides comfortable handling during extended use.
