| This multicoated moderately high power center focus binocular has aspherical elements in its eyepieces for low distortion, plus costly BaK-4 porro prisms for more performance than you might expect from its low price. Its lightweight black polycarbonate body is lightly rubber armored. Finger grooves are molded into the body for a secure grip. There are no sharp corners to snag clothing as the binocular slips into pocket, purse, or auto glove compartment. It has soft rolldown rubber eyecups and a soft vinyl case that attaches to your belt for no-hands carrying. The diopter adjustment on the right eyepiece is a click-stop design that won’t accidentally get out of adjustment when you least want it to. The Travelite is a handy bino for nature walks, traveling, sports, the theatre, etc. – anywhere compact size and light weight are more important than very bright images in low light. The 9 x 25mm has enough power for serious long distance looking, while still providing enough brightness to make it usable as your everyday bino. An excellent choice as a second binocular, a travel binocular, or as a first birding binocular for the beginning birder or the birder on a budget. |
