All-rounder for good detail recognition

Lightweight and compact, they are quickly at hand for any eye-catcher. With the 10x magnification, you can see a lot of details, e.g. when approaching game or surveying a hunting ground.

Excellent remunerations

With absolutely clear imaging and excellent contrast, the ALPEN OPTICS Shasta Ridge 10x42 binoculars always give a first-class image. To achieve this, the prisms made of high-quality BaK-4 glass material have been provided with the excellent PXA phase coating. In addition, the highly reflective HR coating increases light transmission for a pleasantly bright image. The lenses are also fully multi-coated.

A clear view in all weathers

Continuous rain, strong temperature fluctuations, fog - in nature you have to be prepared for everything in terms of weather. That's why the housing of the ALPEN OPTICS Shasta Ridge 10x42 binoculars is waterproof, so that no moisture can get to the optics. The nitrogen filling, on the other hand, ensures that the lenses do not fog up from the inside.

Suitable for wearers of glasses

The ALPEN OPTICS Shasta Ridge allows you to keep an overview of the entire field of view, even when you're out and about with visual aids. The binoculars are equipped with a large exit pupil distance and twist-up eyecups. Further adjustments for individual visual acuity can be made at the dioptric adjustment.

Crystal-clear images with premium quality optics

Unlike the standard BK-7, the optics are made from BaK-4 glass (barium crown glass) that produces even sharper and brighter images. The high-quality BaK-4 glass optics are used in all ALPEN Optics products sold in Europe.

More light for clearer images

The optics are fully coated with a premium multi-layer coating, which increases the light transmission to up to 95% to produce stunningly bright images.

Weatherproof design

The binoculars are filled with nitrogen, which prevents the inside of the lenses from fogging up and obstructing your view during abrupt changes in temperature.

Watertight design

Thanks to the waterproof housing that prevents liquids from reaching the inside of the optics, you don’t need to worry about heavy rain or dropping the binoculars in a puddle.

Easily adjustable for glasses wearers

Thanks to the twist-up eyecups, the design is also suitable for people who wear glasses. The distance between your eyes and the lenses can be easily adjusted to allow you to see the complete field of view.

Fine tune to your vision

The built-in dioptre adjustment allows you to quickly adjust the optics to your vision and compensate for differences between your left and right eyes.

Tripod connection thread

Thanks to the tripod connection thread, the optics can be quickly mounted on a tripod so that you can enjoy shake-free images of animals or nature.

Bright images, even on dark days

The binoculars feature a premium HR metal prism coating that significantly increases the light transmission and lets more light into your eyes. The result: bright and impressive images, even in challenging light conditions.

Special coating for more clarity and contrast

Thanks to the first-class PXA phase coating, these binoculars allow you to take in every detail in crystal-clear, high-contrast images.

Nitrogen filling

The temperature can change rapidly when you’re out in the wild. To prevent the lenses from fogging up on the inside and obstructing your view, the optics are filled with nitrogen.
