Kowa BDIII XD 8x42mm Wide-Angle Green Binocular w/ Rubber Armor, KR Lens Coating, Magnesium Alloy Body, 21.3oz BD-III-42-8XD, 8x42

The Kowa BDIII XD 8x42 is a wide-angle binocular built around a classic 8x42 configuration, balancing strong low-light performance with a broad, immersive field of view. Kowa Prominar XD (extra-low dispersion) lens elements are fully multi-coated and treated with KR hydrophobic coatings to shed water and resist dirt on the exterior lens surfaces, while phase- and reflection-coated prisms maximize light transmission for bright, high-contrast images. The magnesium alloy chassis is wrapped in rugged rubber armor for secure handling, and the optical tubes are nitrogen-purged and O-ring sealed for reliable waterproof, fogproof performance in the field. A 5.25mm exit pupil and 17mm eye relief make for a comfortable, fatigue-free viewing experience even during extended dawn or dusk observation sessions. At 21.3 oz, it's a versatile all-around choice for birdwatching, hunting, and general wildlife observation where both brightness and field of view matter.
