The included GlassPak binocular harness ensures your binoculars are easily accessible and protected, providing more comfort than traditional neck straps.
Optical Features: The HD Optical System utilizes select glass elements for superior resolution, reduced chromatic aberration, and excellent color fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness, and light transmission. Fully multi-coated elements with anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces maximize light transmission. Dielectric coating on the Roof Prisms ensures bright, clear, and color-accurate images.
Construction: Durable rubber armor provides a secure, non-slip grip and external protection. O-ring seals prevent moisture, dust, and debris ingress for reliable performance in all conditions. Argon gas purging prevents internal fogging across a wide temperature range. The shockproof design withstands recoil and impact. ArmorTek ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating protects exterior lenses from scratches, oil, and dirt.
Convenience: Adjustable twist-up eyecups accommodate eyeglass wearers. A center focus wheel allows for easy adjustment of both barrels simultaneously. A diopter on the right eyepiece compensates for differences in user eye prescription. A tripod adapter allows mounting on tripods or car window mounts.
GlassPak Binocular Harness: The included GlassPak harness protects and stores your binoculars, keeping them readily accessible. Tethers secure binoculars against accidental drops, and adjustable straps ensure a comfortable fit.
