Nikon introduces its first binocular, carrying bag and strap designed from the ground up specifically for the outdoor woman. The mid-sized plum 8x36 and chocolate 10x36 All Terrain Binoculars (ATB) offer women the best of both worlds-trademark Nikon optical performance and attractive SHE styling.
Nikon partnered with SHE Outdoor Apparel. An industry leader, SHE Outdoor Apparel designs and produces the highest quality women's outdoor clothing. Great attention to detail provides attractive, fashionable and functional clothing and accessories for the adventurous woman.
This versatile ATB Binocular is lightweight and designed for the feminine hand. Included with either binocular model is a quality embossed leather binocular strap and chic functional shoulder bag. The shoulder bag has a built-in optics case, making it perfect for travel, day trips or whenever she wants her binocular close at hand.
Ergonomic styling, mated with a rubber armored exterior, provides added shock resistance and a firm grip, wet or dry. Turn-and-slide rubber eyecups with multi-click adjustments, complemented by long eye relief (17mm in the 8x36, 15mm in the 10x36), allow the binoculars to be used as comfortably by eyeglass wearers as those with uncorrected vision. A large central focus wheel and adjustable diopter make focus easy to achieve and maintain, even while wearing gloves.
Boasting a 367-foot field-of-view in the 8x and 314-foot in the 10x, Nikon has virtually matched the field-of-view of its 8x42 and 10x42 models-but in packages that each weighs in at 20 ounces and measures just under 5 inches in length.
