Specifically designed for the needs of birding enthusiasts, the Merlin series of premium roof prism binoculars deliver deliciously discreet views. Their external color (an earthy, neutral brown) was thoroughly researched and chosen to placate the skittish nature of your intriguing subjects. The Merlins come in four varieties, with the 10x42 being for those that prefer a bit more powerful magnification in a still-travel-friendly size.

The 10x42 Merlin is guaranteed to withstand bombardment from water jets at multiple angles for five minutes without leaking.  It is also tested to withstand a 30° F temperature change without internal fogging.
