The housing is protected with a new green rubber armor that also offers a slip-resistant grip. The body is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging—so you can stay out in the rain if you want and it will handle a spill in a puddle or stream better than you will. Kowa thoughtfully includes a case, neck strap, and a full set of lens caps.

Performance
- Magnification: 8x power brings distant objects up close for observation without sacrificing field of view or exit pupil—ideal for all kinds of uses from sightseeing and hiking to sporting events.
- Objective Lenses: 30mm objective lenses offer improved light gathering versus compact models without the weight and bulk of full-size optics.
- Prism Design: Traditional Porro prism design offers a rich depth of field to more easily discern the relative distances between objects in the field of view.
- Optical Coatings: Anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics to ensure bright and clear views with accurate colors, improved contrast, and crisp clarity.
- Lens Coatings: Proprietary protective KR exterior lens coatings prevent sap, oils, dirt, and dust from clinging to the lens surface to keep views clear.
- Angle of View: Wide 60° apparent angle of view allows the user to see more of the landscape or playing field while minimizing the amount they need to move their head.
- Field of View: Generous 398-foot field of view at 1000 yards.
Use and Handling
- Focusing Knob: Large center focusing knob is easy to manipulate in cold and wet conditions and while wearing gloves.
- Focus Precision: Focus is slip-resistant to enhance focus precision.
- Dioptric Correction: Right-eye dioptric correction ensures tack-sharp views, even if you normally wear eyeglasses.
- Interpupillary Adjustment: 50-70mm interpupillary adjustment range for people of all sizes and ages.
- Eyecups: Twist-up rubber eyecups for easy use with eyeglasses or sunglasses.
- Eye Relief: Comfortable 16mm eye relief reduces eyestrain and improves the overall viewing experience.
- Exit Pupil: 3.8mm exit pupil keeps the entire landscape in view even as pupils begin to open and dilate in lower light.
Construction Details
