Dual Prominar XD elements are used to minimize chromatic aberrations for greater color accuracy, and the phase-corrected Schmidt-Pechan roof prism design avails consistent brightness with a sleek form factor. A C3 coating has also been applied to the glass elements to improve contrast and produce consistent and accurate colors. When all combined with the large 56mm diameter objective lenses, this binoculars are especially adept when viewing in difficult and low-light conditions. A rubberized chassis offers durable and secure handling and the housing has also been nitrogen filled for water and fog resistance.
