Kite Ibis ED 10x42 Binoculars
Introducing a revolution, the IBIS ED 10x42 by KITE brings an open-bridge design to the world of binoculars, combined with high-precision manufacturing in Japan. This ergonomic design allows for easy and lightweight handling, enabling you to wrap your entire hand around the binoculars while keeping your index finger on the focus wheel. This provides unique comfort and enables effective one-handed use and observation.
The bodies are elegantly slim, while featuring a thick, textured rubber armor, ensuring maximum grip. The removable metal eyecups are a smart addition, allowing for easy cleaning or replacement if necessary. The robust construction is further enhanced by a magnesium body, promising remarkable longevity.
The ED/HD optical system, completed by aspherical lenses and "extra-low dispersion" (ED) glass, ensures a bright and sharp image from center to edge, rendering colors perfectly naturally for precise identification. With the 10x42 model, you benefit from an impressive field of view of 114 m at 1,000 m, making these binoculars incredibly versatile.
These advanced binoculars offer a close focus distance reduced to 1.4 m, which is an improvement over previous models. They are also equipped with KITE PERMAVISION and KITE PERMARÉSISTE technology, ensuring excellent visibility in various conditions and optimal resistance. The 4-position aluminum twist-up eyecups and the KITE MHR Advance + coating increase ease of use and durability of these binoculars.
Fully waterproof and nitrogen-filled, the KITE IBIS ED 10x42 binoculars are ready to take on any challenge. They come with a strap, a case, and objective lens covers, ensuring optimal protection and portability.
