Twist-up eyecups GLACIER TM Rubber armored body for a sure grip Professional binoculars For binoculars that rival the most expensive European brands at a fraction of the cost, you can’t beat the new Meade Glacier Binoculars. These rugged binoculars have multi-coated lenses and phase-coated roof prisms that combine to give you views that are exceptionally bright, crisp, and high in contrast. The high-tech phase coatings alone increase prism reflectivity by 8%. Glacier Binoculars give you on average an extra hour of visibility at dawn and dusk compared to standard binoculars. They are nitrogen purged for fogproof viewing and O-ring sealed for waterproof protection. Glacier Binoculars. As bright as binoculars can get. Meade Instruments A Closer View eade Instruments is a leader in the engineering, design and manufacturing of some of the world’s most sophisticated optical products. Product innovation is the hallmark of the Meade brand. Since the company’s founding in 1972, Meade has consistently brought innovative new products to the consumer marketplace which have been lauded as the finest, most technologically advanced products in their categories. Discriminating consumers know that “Meade Optics Inside” means that what they see through a Meade will be views that are detailed, crisp and full of contrast. Meade is one of the last U.S. owned optics manufacturers to still design, engineer and manufacture its main-line M products right here in the United States at its state-of-the-art facility in Irvine, California. Parts and assemblies are precision-machined, while premium quality optical glass is ground, figured and polished to exact tolerances. Meade then applies its proprietary optical coatings to its lenses to maximize light transmission. Meade’s design and manufacturing operations adhere to rigorous quality control standards applied by dedicated employees at every phase of development and production. Meade's emphasis on innovation and unparalleled manufacturing processes is the driving force behind its leadership position in the optics industry. We take great pride in our products and hope you will enjoy using them for years to come. 10x42 B170101 Nitrogen-purged and O-ring sealed for fogproof and waterproof protection Table of Contents Glacier . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Kestrel . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 EasyView . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 Wilderness . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 Magnification Travel . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 Objective lens diameter Prism system 8x42 10x42 p/n B170100 p/n B170101 8x 10x 42mm 42mm BaK-4 roof prism Phase coated and Fully multi-coated TravelView . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 Lens coating BaK-4 roof prism Phase coated and Fully multi-coated CaptureView . . . . . . . . . . 12 Field of view 341 ft. @ 1000 yds. 314 ft. @ 1000 yds.
