With a magnification-objective lens configuration favored by outdoor enthusiasts and outfitted with an ultrawide field of view - the Kowa 10x42 BD II XD Wide-Angle Binoculars produce bright high-contrast images with true-to-life color and crisp clarity even when observing from long distancesTo deliver their performance - Kowa binoculars employ complementary technologies - including the use of proprietary PROMINAR extra-low-dispersion fluorite glass - anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics - and highly reflective C3 and phase-correcting prism coatings that work together to produce crisp - clear - and bright high-contrast images with accurate color rendition across the entire spectrum Added to this performance is a short close-focus distance - an ultra-wide angle of view - and a comfortable eye relief - which produce an immersive observational experience for any user The expansive field of view also reduces the need to move the head very much for a more comfortable viewing experience while virtually eliminating the distracting hand shake common with high-power opticsDesigned for extensive outdoor use - the lightweight magnesium alloy chassis is wrapped in a protective rubber armor with a slip-resistant textured grip to provide secure handling in cold and wet conditions To ensure a compact and highly packable form factor - Kowa utilizes Schmidt-Pechan prisms that allow for slimmer optical tubes but deliver the performance of conventional roof prisms The optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature or humidity changes
