Engineered for detailed long-range observation, the black Nikon 12x50 ProStaff 5 Binoculars give users the ability to make positive identification of large game animals, read buoys, or spot obstacles at great distances. Their 12x magnification draws distant objects in for better viewing, while the large 50mm objectives offset the dimming that can occur with high magnification and boost the light-gathering ability to improve views in the early morning and late evening or in foggy and cloudy weather. With the combination of objective lens size, optical coatings, and comfortable eye relief, users can enjoy bright and clear views in most lighting conditions. Complementing the optical performance are construction details that make these binoculars durable and comfortable to use. They have a lightweight, reinforced polycarbonate resin chassis that helps to reduce the weight despite the large objectives, and is protected by black rubberized armor. The optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and submersible, as well as resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature variations and environmental conditions. A tethered one-piece ocular rainguard covers the eyecups as the binoculars hang around the neck and prevents rain and spraying water from filling them, and the objective lens caps can clip onto the neck strap to keep them safe from blowing overboard or being lost on the forest floor. From the boat to the blind to the range, these ProStaff binoculars will quickly become your go-to binoculars for your all-weather observing needs.
