Product Summary

Check out the fields in the distance before you head out with this pair of Kowa Porro prism binoculars. The phase coating helps keep the lenses clear, and with nitrogen inside, the glass won't fog even when you're near lakes. The waterproof binoculars are perfect for those who work by the sea or a lake, since accidental drops into the water won't cause damage. The comfortable neck strap makes these easy to keep close to you as you scale trees to find the perfect vantage point.

Description

Cost Effective with Superior Optical Performance
All lenses and prisms of the YF and SV Series are fully multi-coated.  In addition, the roof prism (SV Series) is phase coated and has a highly reflective coating that minimizes the loss of light and produces a clear visual range and sharp image.   Even though costs were reduced through simultaneous product development and the implementation of an objective focus mechanism (SV 32/42), the superior optical performance was maintained without sacrificing important features like being waterproof and dry nitrogen gas filled.


Stylish Ergonomic Design
The stylish design is ideal for bird watching, nature observation or any other outdoor activity. Depressions placed in the rubber armor make it easy to grip and hold the binoculars.


Lightweight Construction
The lightweight design of the YF and SV Series allows for extended use in the field.  Even with a large 50mm objective lens, the weight of the SV 50 at 740g (10× model) is on par with most 42mm class binoculars.  You can enjoy the overwhelming brightness of a 50mm lens with the weight of a 42mm class binocular.   With a weight under 500g, the YF Series is ideal for children and women.


Waterproof and Filled with Dry Nitrogen Gas
The binoculars are waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent the internal structure from fogging.

    Comments about Kowa 6x30mm YF Porro Prism Binoculars:

    from a 20yr old 6x23 Nikons. I wear glasses and I don't have to remove them to use the new Kowas. Clear view, nice feel in hands. Enjoying the birds a lot more. Amd may I add the customer service is above average.
