Kite Ibis ED 8.5x50 Binoculars

Introducing the flagship model 8.5x50 IBIS ED from KITE, a masterpiece of ergonomics and performance. This optical gem features an open-bridge design by KITE, offering unique comfort by naturally wrapping around your hand while keeping your index finger on the focus wheel for effortless one-handed operation. The sleek silhouette of this model conceals a robust textured rubber armor, ensuring optimal grip without compromise.

The aluminum twist-up eyecups, adjustable in 4 positions, are removable for easy cleaning or replacement if necessary. The innovation does not stop there; the ED/HD optical system guarantees bright and sharp image reproduction from center to edge, with true-to-life natural colors, which is crucial for precise identification. The KITE MHR Advance + coating further enhances the clarity and durability of this valuable instrument.

Manufactured with exemplary precision in Japan, this model also stands out for its aspherical lenses and extra-low dispersion (ED) glass, delivering high-contrast, vivid images even at dusk. With a field of view of 102 meters per 1,000 meters and a close focus distance reduced to 2.4 meters, the IBIS ED 8.5x50 is a reliable companion for demanding observers.

The 17 mm eye relief is a boon for eyeglass wearers, and the retractable eyecups adapt with ease. Weighing only 868 grams, the IBIS ED 8.5x50 is the perfect blend of robustness and lightness. Fully waterproof and nitrogen-filled, this model is built to withstand the test of time and comes with an exceptional 30-year warranty.

Each pair is delivered with a strap, a case, and objective lens covers, adding a touch of practicality to this offering. Kite Optics, a Belgian family business founded by and for birdwatching enthusiasts, exceeds expectations with the IBIS ED range, and the 8.5x50 model is the perfect example.
