gr8fuldoug Report post Posted December 22, 2009 Minox Arctic Hunter Binoculars We just received a shipment of these very unique binoculars from Minox. They are unique not only for the camo design but because of the construction which is made to tolerate extreme temperature changes and more physical abuse than an average binocular. The BV 8x42 BR Arctic Hunter is only $149.99 (reduced from $319.99) and the BV 10x42 BR Arctic Hunter is only $199.99 (reduced from $329.99), while supplies last. Minox BV 10x42 BR Arctic Hunter Part# 62027 These new powerful BV binoculars have been designed for use in exceptional situations. Besides making the internal optical system fit for extreme conditions, the external features have also been appropriately styled - the Arctic Snow camouflage design leaving no doubts about the field of operation! The hardened aluminum body can stand up to unyielding weather and temperature conditions, making it shockproof in compliance with the DIN ISO 10109-4 standard. All lubricants have now been designed for temperatures ranging from –22°F up to 140°F (-30°C down to -60°C). The shockproof rubber armoring protects the precision optics even when the going gets tough, ensuring a firm grip at all times thanks to its non-slip surface. An innovative sealing technology on the inside protects the new BV binoculars against the penetration of dust and water up to a pressure of 0.5 bar and a water depth of 5 meters. Nitrogen gas filling additionally provides permanent protection against corrosion and prevents fogging of the optical surfaces, even with extreme temperature fluctuations. The state-of-the-art optical systems of the BV 8x42 BR and BV 10x42 BR Arctic Hunter assure exceptional viewing enjoyment. These feature multicoated lens elements that minimize glare and reflections and guarantee an unusually high light transmission as well as neutral color rendition. Thanks to the roof prisms with a phase correction coating the user can rely on excellent detail rendition and high contrast – even in poor light. The new BV binoculars are optionally available with an 8x or 10x magnification and are the perfect companion for the next hunting session.
