The Kowa SV II Binoculars
provides reliable performance without the heft and bulk of full-sized
models. To improve image quality and offset the light-gathering
limitations of the smaller objectives, Kowa employs anti-reflection
fully multi-coated optics, phase-correction prism coatings, and
oil-resistant exterior lens coatings that work together to keep the
lenses clean and produce crisp, clear, and bright high-contrast images
with accurate color representation. Added to this performance is a wide
angle of view and a comfortable eye relief, which produce an immersive
observational experience for any user.
Complementing the optical
performance are construction details that make this binocular durable
and comfortable to use. It has a lightweight polycarbonate chassis and
is protected by rubberized armor that gives it a secure non-slip grip
even in cold and wet conditions. The optical tubes are nitrogen filled
and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging
when moving through extreme temperature variations and environmental
conditions. A one-piece ocular rainguard covers the eyecups as the
binocular hangs around the neck and prevents rain and spraying water
from filling them, and it attaches to the included neck strap to prevent
it from being lost on the forest floor.
