The 10x42 is the most popular binocular format for a reason — it balances reach, brightness, and portability for almost any outdoor pursuit. The challenge is finding one that delivers alpha-brand optical quality without the alpha-brand price tag. The Kite Optics Lynx HD+ 10x42 is the versatile all-rounder of the Lynx HD+ range — Belgian-designed, with Kite's HD optical system and dielectric-coated prisms, balancing 10x magnification, a bright 4.2mm exit pupil, and a comfortable 700g carry weight at roughly half the cost of comparable European competitors.

Key Features

• 10x magnification with 122m field of view at 1000m (366 ft at 1000 yds) — Enough reach to resolve plumage details, antler points, and distant subjects, with a generous field of view that keeps the image immersive and context-rich.

• HD optical system with MHR Advance+ multi-coatings — Kite's HD optical design controls chromatic aberration for sharp, high-contrast views. Fully multi-coated optics deliver 89–90% light transmission.

• 4.2mm exit pupil — A balanced blend of brightness and magnification, delivering a clear, comfortable image through most daylight conditions and into the golden hour.

• PermaVision and PermaResist exterior lens coatings — Hydrophobic and scratch-resistant exterior coatings keep lenses clean and performing in rain, dew, and dusty field conditions.

• 1.8m close focus — Close enough for butterflies, wildflowers, and other nearby subjects when the opportunity presents itself.

• 700g in a reinforced polycarbonate body — Fiberglass-reinforced polycarbonate with metal reinforcement on stress points and hard rubber armor. Durable enough for daily fieldwork, light enough for all-day carry.

• Roof prisms with phase correction and dielectric coatings — Premium optical treatment for maximum brightness and contrast through the prism system.

• 17.5mm eye relief with removable aluminum twist-up eyecups — Generous clearance for comfortable viewing with or without glasses. Multiple click-stop positions for precise adjustment. User-replaceable aluminum eyecups.
