10x42 Endurance ED Binoculars
The Hawke Sports Optics 10x42 Endurance ED Binoculars, in green, are equipped with phase-corrected BAK4 roof prisms, extra low-dispersion (ED) glass, and fully multi-coated anti-reflection optics to deliver bright, sharp, high-contrast images with true-to-life colors and minimal color fringing. The 42mm objective lenses enhance low-light performance, making these binoculars suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities, from hunting and birdwatching to attending sporting events. Built for durability and comfort, the binoculars feature a polycarbonate chassis that is both impact- and corrosion-resistant. The temperature-resistant design ensures the optical tubes remain stable, preventing misalignment that can affect focus over time. The rubber armoring protects against drops and impacts, while providing a slip-resistant grip, even in wet or cold conditions. Nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed, these binoculars are waterproof and fogproof, ready to withstand extreme weather. A right-eye diopter adjustment allows for personalized focusing, and the twist-up eyecups ensure comfortable use, whether or not you wear glasses. |
Optical Performance, Use and Handling, and Construction Details
The Hawke Sports Optics 10x42 Endurance ED Binoculars offer 10x magnification and 42mm objective lenses, featuring compact BAK4 roof prisms and extra-low-dispersion (ED) glass to correct chromatic aberrations for accurate color representation and reduced fringing. The fully multi-coated, anti-reflection optics enhance image brightness, contrast, and color fidelity, while the phase-corrected prism coatings reduce internal light dispersion for improved visual performance. With a 304-foot field of view at 1000 yards and a 58° apparent angle of view, these binoculars provide a broad, immersive viewing experience. The closed bridge design allows for easy handling, and the interpupillary distance can be adjusted between 53 and 73mm. A large, knurled focus wheel requires just 1.2 turns to adjust from minimum to maximum focus, while the right-eye diopter correction and twist-up, click-stop eyecups ensure comfort for both glasses wearers and non-wearers. The 4.2mm exit pupil and 13mm eye relief enhance viewing comfort during extended use. Built to withstand tough conditions, the binoculars feature an impact-, corrosion-, and temperature-resistant polycarbonate chassis. They are nitrogen-filled for reliable waterproof and fogproof performance. The green rubber armoring not only shields the chassis from impacts but also provides a textured, slip-resistant grip, enhanced by deep palm grooves for added stability. The binoculars come with stay-on, flip-down objective lens covers for convenience, and they weigh 23 ounces, making them durable yet lightweight enough for extended outdoor use. |
