A Guide to Birding with Binoculars
Barska‘s Mossy Oak Blaze camouflage 10×42 WP Crossover Binocularsare ideal for hunters, birders, and outdoor enthusiasts who require an optic that delivers high magnification for detailed observations of distant subjects while retaining the ability to observe quickly on the go, without the bulk and weight of larger models.
The enhanced light-gathering ability offered by the 42mm objectives helps to ensure bright and clear views, even in challenging situations like at dawn or dusk, or when peering into dense underbrush. Antireflection fully multi-coated lenses complement the BAK4 Porro prism light path to deliver high-contrast images with enhanced depth of field and accurate color fidelity. Despite their 10x magnification, this version of the Crossover has a wide angle of view that helps to offset the appearance of visible hand shake that is common with high-power optics such as these, while presenting you with spacious views.
The Crossover’s sculpted rubber-armored housing is designed to fit naturally into your hand and provide secure non-slip handling. They are offered here in the Mossy Oak Blaze camouflage pattern that has been designed to be highly visible to humans but not to animalsenhancing your safety without giving away your presence. Twist-up rubber eyecups and a long eye relief enable easy viewing without eye fatigue, especially during long observation sessions. The combination of image quality and user-friendly design makes these binoculars a natural option for long-range all-day glassing.
