Coating

The Apex Steady binoculars also come with first-class coatings for an optimal viewing experience. ALPEN's exclusive UBX multi-layer coating significantly increases the light transmission, while the premium PXA phase coating delivers outstanding contrasts and a crystal-clear image. Another highlight is ALPEN's premium LPE (Lotus Pearl Effect) lens coating, which ensures that water droplets drip off the lenses and wash away dirt during rainy weather.

Sturdy, weatherproof and user-friendly

The Apex Steady binoculars have a sturdy design and are perfect for use on hunting trips and outdoor adventures. They feature a comfortable rubber armouring for an optimal grip. The premium binoculars are also splashproof and therefore suitable for use in rainy weather or foggy conditions. In addition, the lenses are protected against fogging up from the inside during abrupt changes in temperature.
