From Manufacturer
The 8x42 Predator Binoculars from Steiner are general purpose binoculars, combining a fully multicoated optical system and weather-resistant housing. Steiner uses their Color Adjusted Transmission (CAT) multicoating, which is optimized for nature observation, enhancing low-light performance and image contrast. In addition, the 8x42 also features a nitrogen-filled fogproof housing and fast close focus mechanism that delivers fine focus adjustments as close as 6 ft. The impact-resistant Makrolon composite body has textured rubber armoring to help the observer maintain their grip when the binoculars are in wet conditions or while wearing gloves.
