Travel light without sacrificing premium optics with the Vanguard Spirit 1042 binocular, which features 100 percent waterproof and fogproof optics made from BaK4 prism glass--with a higher quality glass (barium crown) that helps produce brighter images and high edge-to-edge sharpness. With a 10x magnification and 42mm objective diameter, this Spirit binocular offers a 6.0-degree viewing angle and an eye relief of 16mm--perfect for surveying the entire field. Other features include twist-up eyecups, smooth-motion diopter ring, and comfort grip with thumb rest. This package includes a deluxe neck strap, cleaning cloth, and soft bag.

Specifications:

  • Power: 10x
  • Objective diameter: 42mm

These multi-coated optics feature several exclusive Vanguard coatings, and processes, including:
Emerald Coating: The Vanguard Emerald coating is specifically designed to provide the full spectrum of color within the band of green tones. This coating is essential for outdoor nature enthusiasts because it ensures the most vivid and natural shades of green.
HydroGuard Coating: This water repellent coating is applied on the objective lenses to protect them from all types of moisture including rain, snow and fog. This highly technical coating ensures that the lens repels not only water but dirt as well; ensuring a continuously clean dry lens and providing the best image possible regardless of the surrounding conditions.
V-Max Coating: V-Max Silver coating provides near perfect light reflection which offers brighter more crisp images with sharp contrast. Thanks to this high-tech coating Vanguard optics achieve near perfect light transmission over the complete light spectrum, ensuring very bright, vivid images.
P2 Phase Coating: When treated with VANGUARD P2 Phase coating the BaK-4 prisms offer crystal clear images and high resolution. This coating has been specially developed to provide enhanced image clarity and true color reproduction.

This review is from: Vanguard Spirit 1042 Waterproof Binocular (Sports)
Fantastic binoculars, an exceptional value at this price point. Terriffic clarity, works well both in bright and dim light, bright crystal clear view. 10x magnification is a good all-round level that will suit most situations. Used camping and at sporting events to good effect. These are high-performance binoculars at a tremendous price. You'll be hard pressed to find better without spending a lot more. This is my first purchase of a Vanguard product, and based on performance of these binoculars, bought a Vanguard VSH 781 spotting scope that I'm also very pleased with.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vanguard Spirit Binoculars are great., November 21, 2010
This review is from: Vanguard Spirit 1042 Waterproof Binocular (Sports)
I recently purchased the 10 x 42 Vanguard Spirit Binoculars. They are very clear and user friendly. At a little over 21 oz's. I don't mind carrying them around my neck either. Opticaly I compared them to my more exdpensive brand and they showed images that are just as crisp and clear. Good buy for the money.
