Minox

As the name suggests, Minox designed their 8x44 X-HD Binoculars with extralow-dispersion HD glass to provide you with clear high-contrast views free from distortion.Minox eschews convention by utilizing a 44mm objective, instead of the much more common 42mm size. The larger lens provides performance increases across the board, including light-gathering capability to keep views bright in challenging conditions and a wider exit pupil. Proprietary M* anti-reflection multi-coatings on the ED glass lenses and dielectric coated roof prisms transmit bright and clear high-contrast images with true neutral color rendition and crisp clarity while correcting chromatic and spherical aberration. The X-HD's performance enhancements are critical components for scanning the terrain, identifying your target, and maintaining sight of it without it seeing or smelling you.Utilizing an open-bridge/dual-hinge configuration helps to cut weight without sacrificing stability while providing plenty of room to wrap your hands completely around the optical tubes for a better grip, even if you need to use them one-handed. The chassis is made of a lightweight and durable polycarbonate wrapped in a protective armor that provides a slip-resistant grip especially in cold and wet weather. The optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be resistant to internal fogging and also waterproof so the X-HD will fair better than you if they tumble into a stream or pond. And if you do end up in a stream, tethered objective lens caps and one-piece ocular rainguard prevent their loss while allowing for fast reaction when opportunities present themselves.Optical Performance Moderate 8x power magnifies subject without narrowing the view and exit pupil or shortening the eye reliefAtypical 44mm objective lenses provide improved light-gathering capability versus the more common 42mm for better low light performance while helping to produce a wider and more comfortable exit pupil and eye reliefRoof prism light path produces smaller optical tubes versus Porro prism design for more comfortable handling without compromising performanceDielectric prism coatings push internal reflectivity to better than 90% to improve contrast & clarity while keeping views brightExtra-low dispersion (ED) glass lens elements reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations to produce views with true color without fringing, halos, or distortion across the entire field of viewProprietary M* anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics improve light transmission to boost contrast and produce a neutral color rendition to make colors appear more true and naturalWide 62 apparent angle of view reduces the need for the user to move their head to see the scene in front of them, allowing them to concentrate on the viewing experienceSpacious 410-foot field of view at 1000 yardsUse and Handling Open-bridge, dual-hinge configuration offers stability and rigidityBridge design provides more gripping surface for steadier handlingLarge knurled center focus wheel is easy to manipulate in cold and wet weather or when wearing gloves 4 right-eye dioptric correction enables to achieve tack sharp focus even if their eyesight isn't perfectTwist-up eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear1/4"-20 socket on front hinge allows the binoculars to be mounted on a tripod using an optional adapterWide 5.5mm exit pupil will completely cover pupils, even in low light conditions, to keep the whole scene in viewConstruction Details Compact design is ideal for hunting and birdingBridge offers much more gripping surface area versus conventional designs to make them more comfortable and secure, so you can hold the binoculars with one handPolycarbonate housing is resistant to corrosion and the expansion and contraction common in metal housing that can cause optical components to move out of alignment over timeRubber armor protects against bumps and impacts while providing a firm grip in cold and wet weatherNitrogen filled and
