Kite Petrel II 10x42 binoculars: robustness and clear optics in the service of nature
The Kite Petrel II 10x42 binocular embodies the perfect balance between lightness, durability and optical performance. Ideal forbirdwatching, hiking or wildlife monitoring, it offers crystal-clear, reliable vision in all conditions.
Exceptional durability: a lifelong companion
The mechanical quality of the Petrel II is outstanding. Designed to withstand intensive use, it outperforms much more expensive models in terms of sturdiness, making it a durable and reliable investment :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.
Slim, ergonomic and ultra-light design
With its slim profile and weight of just 635 g, the Petrel II 10x42 is easy to handle. Its ergonomic recesses and textured non-slip coating ensure a natural grip :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.
Fast, fluid focus control
The central focusing wheel offers smooth, fast focusing, facilitated by precision mechanics ideal for tracking moving subjects in nature.
MHR Advance Kite-coated glass for outstanding clarity
MHR Advance multi-coating develops **high contrast** and **uniform brightness**, whatever the type of lighting, guaranteeing an exceptional image, day or night.
Reliable optics despite the absence of ED glass
Although this model does not feature ED lenses, it delivers excellent sharpness and color rendition thanks to its multi-coating and phase-corrected BAK-4 prisms.
Balanced field of view for a 10x
The field of view is 105 m to 1000 m (approx. 6°), wide enough to observe landscapes or birds in flight without constantly searching for the target.
Close focusing distance
The minimum focusing distance of **1.8 m** enables you to observe close-up subjects (insects, flowers), while preserving long-distance performance.
Comfortable eye relief for all
With an **eye relief ratio of 17 mm**, users wearing glasses can observe without discomfort thanks to the 4-position adjustable aluminum twist-up eyecups.
Universal interpupillary adjustment
Interpupillary distance adjusts from 59 to 74 mm, enabling easy adaptation to all morphologies and guaranteeing perfect alignment with the eyes.
Optimum twilight index for low light conditions
The twilight index of **20.5** enables observations in low-light conditions, useful at dawn or in dense forests :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}.
Efficient light transmission
Light transmission is 82%, ensuring a bright, detailed image even in darkened environments.
Reliable, fog-proof sealing
Fully sealed, nitrogen-purged IPX7 construction prevents water ingress and internal condensation, guaranteeing worry-free use in all weather conditions :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}.
Extended operating temperature range
Operating from **-25°C to +55°C**, the Petrel II 10x42 withstands the extremes of the climate, ideal for expeditions or winter observation :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}.
Integrated dioptric precision
The ±3 diopter corrector enables precise focus adjustment for each eye, essential for optimal vision without corrective glasses.
Professional roof prism construction
Schmidt-Pechán roof prisms ensure a compact structure and precise optical alignment, while offering high mechanical robustness :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}.
Controlled weight for extended observation
Weighing just **635 g**, this model is perfect for long walks or fatigue-free observation.
30-year warranty: confidence and reliability
Kite Optics backs the Petrel II 10x42 with a **30-year warranty**, a guarantee of durability and quality for life :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}.
