The Hawke Endurance ED 10x42 Binoculars in Black deliver exceptional performance for wildlife observation, birdwatching and outdoor pursuits. Featuring System H5 optics, these binoculars utilise Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass to reduce chromatic aberration, delivering crisp, clear and high contrast images. The Fully Multi-Coated lenses enhance light transmission, ensuring brilliant clarity even in lower light conditions.
With a close focus distance of just 2 metres, the Endurance ED 10x42 is ideal for detailed viewing at short range. The apparent field of view of 63° and wide field of view of 330ft @ 1000yds (110m @ 1000m) allow you to scan landscapes easily. A high grip rubber body ensures a secure hold in all weather, while twist-up eye cups with position stops provide comfortable viewing for all users.
Built to withstand tough conditions, the binoculars are nitrogen-purged, waterproof and fog proof. High resolution BAK-4 roof prisms with silver mirror coatings and phase correction further improve image clarity and brightness. Backed by the Hawke No-Fault Lifetime Warranty, the Endurance ED 10x42 is a rugged, high-quality optical companion for serious outdoor enthusiasts.
