Swarovski's 10x42 EL42 Binocular features a high magnification with a large angle of view to produce a truly immersive observational experience while hunting, birding, navigating, or sightseeing. Its high-transmission optical path, legendary Swarovski optical coatings, and a weather-sealed magnesium-alloy housing gives this binocular the performance required by discerning enthusiasts and seasoned professionals. Its wide 64° apparent viewing angle and short 1.5m minimum focus distance make this optic ideal for close to medium-long range viewing.
The EL’s employ a suite of SwaroVision coatings and technologies that enhance the user experience including SwaroBright, SwaroTop, SwaroDur, SwaroClean, phase-correcting P-coatings, field-flattener lenses, and fluoride glass. These technologies work seamlessly to produce bright & clear high-contrast & high-resolution images with true colour fidelity and virtually no distortion across the entire field of view. Its larger objectives draw in copious amounts of light to enhance the low-light performance allowing for detailed observations of wildlife and game animals from dawn to dusk, or in heavily canopied woods. Complementing the optical performance is a lightweight and durable magnesium alloy chassis that can withstand a life in extreme conditions. Its nitrogen-filled optical tubes are water- and fog-proof to ensure performance in all weather and environments without internal fogging when moving quickly from wide temperature ranges.
An ergonomic, wrap-around rubber armour ensures that the binoculars will remain comfortable in the hand during long glassing sessions, and helps to maintain a sure grip when it's cold and wet. This version of the EL comes with Swarovski's FieldPro package that features their proprietary rotating pin attachment and adjustment system for the strap that improved mobility and comfort over conventional systems.
Included with the binocular are the FieldPro bag, carrying strap, tethered objective lens covers, and a soft rubber tethered ocular rainguard.
