Leupold Green Ring™ Katmai™ Series Binoculars Blend in With New Natural-Tone Body Armor
Leupold® Green Ring™ Katmai™ Series binoculars feature a new natural-tone body armor designed to blend well with most hunting camo patterns, as well as the khaki gear favored by many wildlife observers and other naturalists.
Still available in black as well, Katmai binoculars come in three roof prism models - 6x32mm, 8x32mm and 10x32mm. The 32mm objective lens provides the light transmission of full-size binoculars.
To further improve light transmission, Katmai utilizes phase coated prisms (a new feature for 2006) combined with L-coat™, Leupold's own 64-layer, anti-reflective coating. Fully multi-coated lenses also work to enhance light transmission and deliver a sharp, bright sight picture with excellent image fidelity.
"Katmai binoculars provide full-size optical performance in a compact package that is lightweight and easy to carry or pack," said Mike Slack, marketing communications manager for Leupold. "The new natural body armor color enhances Katmai's appeal and functionality because it blends so well with clothing typically worn by hunters and wildlife observers alike."
Each model offers a large exit pupil and wide field of view, making it easy to bring the binocular to the eye and locate objects quickly. These benefits make Katmai a good choice for hunting with firearms or bows in heavy cover, most types of nature viewing and outdoor activities such as paddle sports.
Generous eye relief helps make Katmai comfortable to use for extended periods, even with eyeglasses. Built for all-weather outdoor use, Katmai is completely waterproof. The body armor absorbs shock for extra protection.
Other key features of Katmai binoculars:
- Full-size, twist-up, three-position eyecups with locking detents for comfortable extended viewing, with or without eyeglasses
- Exceptional 4.9-foot (1.5 meters) close focus distance
- Ergonomic body design helps make the binocular comfortable and easy to holdover long periods
- The 6x32 and 10x32 models weigh 18.2 ounces (515 grams), while the 8x32mm model weighs 18.9 ounces (535 grams); each model measures 4.1 inches (105.0 mm) in length
