Kite Petrel II 8x42 BL

The Kite "Petrel II" in 8x42 is a reliable binocular that has proven itself over the years and demonstrates an absolutely professional level.
For many years, the "Petrel" has been one of the most well-known binoculars of the Kite brand. Reduced to the essentials and absolutely durable, this binocular also impresses with top performance. The rubber armoring has a structured and thus non-slip grip surface as well as thumb indentations for relaxed holding and stable viewing. The ultra-light and slim design also contributes to the ergonomics of the binoculars. The lenses of the "Petrel" are coated with the KITE MHR Advance coating. This significantly improves color neutrality and image brilliance. With a field of view of 114 m, the user gets a good overview of the desired area. Since the eyecups of the binoculars can be completely twisted in, they are suitable for glasses wearers. To avoid stray light, the eyecups can also be completely twisted out. For cleaning, complete disassembly is also possible. Thanks to the longitudinally ribbed focusing wheel, the nearly correct focusing can be set almost blindly when picking up. With nitrogen filling, this binocular is equipped for the harshest weather and is waterproof. As an entry-level model into the premium class, the Petrel is absolutely perfect.
