Kowa YF II 8x30 Binoculars

Updated with a new look and redesigned housing, the Kowa 8×30 YF II Binoculars are made to be your go-to accessory when you’re out for a hike, sightseeing around town, or taking in a game at the park or stadium. The housing is protected with a new green rubber armor that also offers a slip-resistant grip. The body is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging—so you can stay out in the rain if you want and it will handle a spill in a puddle or stream better than you will. Kowa thoughtfully includes a case, neck strap, and a full set of lens caps. Performance Magnification: 8x power brings distant objects up close for observation without sacrificing field of view or exit pupil—ideal for all kinds of uses from sightseeing and hiking to sporting events. Objective Lenses: 30mm objective lenses offer improved light gathering versus compact models without the weight and bulk of full-size optics. Prism Design: Traditional Porro prism design offers a rich depth of field to more easily discern the relative distances between objects in the field of view. Optical Coatings: Anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics to ensure bright and clear views with accurate colors, improved contrast, and crisp clarity. Lens Coatings: Proprietary protective KR exterior lens coatings prevent sap, oils, dirt, and dust from clinging to the lens surface to keep views clear. Angle of View: Wide 60° apparent angle of view allows the user to see more of the landscape or playing field while minimizing the amount they need to move their head. Field of View: Generous 398-foot field of view at 1000 yards. Use and Handling Focusing Knob: Large center focusing knob is easy to manipulate in cold and wet conditions and while wearing gloves. Focus Precision: Focus is slip-resistant to enhance focus precision. Dioptric Correction: Right-eye dioptric correction ensures tack-sharp views, even if you normally wear eyeglasses. Interpupillary Adjustment: 50-70mm interpupillary adjustment range for people of all sizes and ages. Eyecups: Twist-up rubber eyecups for easy use with eyeglasses or sunglasses. Eye Relief: Comfortable 16mm eye relief reduces eyestrain and improves the overall viewing experience. Exit Pupil: 3.8mm exit pupil keeps the entire landscape in view even as pupils begin to open and dilate in lower light. Construction Details Eco Glass: Eco glass is free from toxic metals to prevent pollution. Rubber Armor: Rubber exterior armor protects against bumps and impacts while offering a slip-resistant grip. Weather Resistance: Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging in extreme conditions and temperatures. Accessories: Carrying case with neck strap, objective lens caps, and a tethered ocular rainguard. Design: Compact and lightweight design is just over 6-inches long and weighs under 17 ounces.
