Kowa’s 8x42 XD Wide-Angle Binoculars

The Kowa BD II 8x42 XD Wide-Angle Binocular. 

The Kowa BD II 8x42 XD Wide-Angle Binocular has the especially broad field of view of 429 feet at 1,000 yards matched with a close focus distance of 6 feet, which are both of special interest to birders. The Kowa proprietary XD lenses are rich with fluoride crystal and fully multi-coated, plus the BD II roof prisms are phase-coated and reflection-coated for maximum light transmission to provide bright, sharp, high-contrast images with natural colors and detailed views of the birds you encounter. These Kowa binoculars are both compact and lightweight for comfortable use anywhere, anytime. 

Kowa's hydrophobic KR coating on the external lens surfaces repel water, dust, and dirt; plus they are waterproof and fogproof. The fluid aluminum focus wheel provides pinpoint accuracy, smooth twist eyecups permit optimum viewing, and the BD II 8x42 Binoculars have 17mm of eye relief. Built with a magnesium alloy chassis that combines strength with reduced weight for rugged reliability, and the protective rubber armor adds durability to the sleek, ergonomic design of these Kowa Binoculars. Included with the Kowa state of the art binoculars is a robust case featuring a practical belt loop and a premium neoprene neck strap for added comfort, plus a high-quality rainguard, coupled with objective lens covers.
