Kite Optics Binoculars Ursus 8x42 (81229)

The Kite Optics Ursus 8x42 binoculars are the ideal entry-level choice in the professional KITE OPTICS roof prism series, designed as versatile all-rounders for daily use. Their optical system features KITE MHR multi-coating on all lens surfaces and a highly reflective coating on the prism, providing bright, sharp images and excellent color balance.

Completely waterproof and nitrogen-filled, the Ursus 8x42 is protected against internal condensation and built to withstand knocks and shocks thanks to its strong rubber armoring. The ultra-lightweight, well-balanced design ensures all-day comfort, with a short hinge allowing easy one-handed use and ergonomic thumb recesses for a fatigue-free grip.

The soft-touch rubber armoring maximizes grip, and the binoculars are equipped with four-step metal eyecups, covered in soft rubber, that are removable and comfortable for users with or without glasses. The large, ribbed focus wheel is designed for a secure grip and smooth adjustment, even when wearing gloves.
