Ideal for longer-range glassing on land and water, the Alpen Optics 10x42 New Shasta Ridge Binoculars are lighter than their predecessor which will help on long hikes and when you're spending a lot of time behind the eyepieces. Anti-reflection fully multicoated optics complement the wide field of view to provide bright, clear, high-contrast views with accurate color rendition from one edge to the other. The 42mm objectives gather all the light needed to keep views crisp and bright in challenging conditions, such as at dawn and dusk, without being overly bulky or cumbersome. Their chassis is nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be resistant to internal fogging and waterproof to withstand extreme weather, with textured palm pads on the armor to ensure a secure grip in cold and wet weather.
