Barr & Stroud Sierra 8x32 Roof Binoculars (Barr & Stroud Sierra 8x32
Roof Binoculars)

Product Description

The new Barr & Stroud Sierra range of binoculars are a blend of superb optical quality & rugged refinement that has produced an elegant range of binoculars that take the Barr & Stroud brand to new level of performance & sophistication. The 8x 32 Sierra is probably one of the most versatile binoculars that Barr & Stroud have ever sold! This little gem is the baby of the Sierra range but still packed with performance & features that make the Sierra range stand out from the opposition. Designed for portability this lightweight compact binocular is an ideal travelling companion, small enough to carry anywhere, on board an airliner or in a hiker's back pack, tough enough to take any weather you are likely or unlucky enough to encounter & still stun you with its performance. OK so the 8x 42 will work better in low light but if it's portability coupled with serious performance we think you need to look no further. The Sierra range from Barr & Stroud feature rugged construction combined with brilliant optics. They are waterproof to a depth 1.5m of water for three minutes, plenty of time to retrieve them if you have dropped them in a stream or puddle. This requires a high degree of mechanical quality in the construction of the binocular which is evident as soon as you pick the binocular up or use the super smooth focus control wheel. We don't expect that you will make a habit of dropping the binoculars into deep water but we do expect that you will want to use them in any weather the planet can throw at you, so you can feel assured that the Barr & Stroud ' Sierra' can take it, again & again. This ability is further enhanced by the binoculars' rubber armoured body which protects it from shocks & knocks. The binoculars are filled with nitrogen gas which keeps water out & also stops the optics suffering from internal fogging in adverse weather conditions, this binocular is truly weatherproof. Fully Multi Coated optics are standard features of the Barr & Stroud ' Sierra' range as are Ba K-4 phase coated prisms. This degree of sophistication ensures that as much light as possible is transmitted through the optics which results in a super bright contrast rich images of high colour fidelity for the user even in low light conditions where less expensive optics & coatings result in a dramatic loss of performance. For the comfort of the user the binoculars are supplied with metal twist up eyecups that are rubber coated which make them equally practical for people to use with or without spectacles. The rapid focus mechanism takes the user from close focus to infinity in less than one turn of the focus control knob, which ensures that you can follow the action however fast it is happening. The Sierra 8x 32 are supplied with carrying case, rain guards, tethered lens caps, straps & lens cleaning cloth.
