Kowa - 6x30 YF II Binoculars (Green)

Pentax Sport Optics Binocular Roundup

Updated with a new look and redesigned housing, the Kowa 6x30 YF II Binoculars are designed to be your go-to accessory when you're out for a hike, sightseeing around town, or taking in a game at the park or stadium.

Outfitted with eco-friendly glass to make them easy on the environment, the overall form factor is compact and lightweight without compromising performance. The relatively low 6x magnification produces a generous view, so you won't have to move your head very much to see all the action from one end of the pitch to the other, and the ergonomic Porro prism configuration not only delivers a rich depth of field, but fits in the hand comfortably with a nice center balance.

The housing is protected with a new green rubber armor that also offers a slip-resistant grip. The body is nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging—so you can stay out in the rain if you want. They may handle a spill in a puddle or stream better than you will. Kowa thoughtfully includes a case, neck strap, and a full set of lens caps.
