Kite Optics Petrel 8x42 and 10x42 binoculars

Like all binoculars from the Belgian company Kite Optics, the Petrel is manufactured with Kite's patented coating system that allows the optics and ceiling prism to provide excellent color contrast and a brilliant, sharp image.

These models have 8x magnification and 42mm aperture, they are a perfect example of a practical binocular for birdwatching in great detail, so they are highly prized binoculars for ornithologists.

The high-performance optical system is protected within an aluminum chassis that meets the strictest quality standards. Even the smallest internal components of the Petrel are made of light metals, ensuring the durability of the device. The interior is sealed with nitrogen to prevent the entry of moisture and make it completely watertight and waterproof. In addition, it is covered with rubber to protect it from shocks and promote grip.

Derived from the Foster model, although lighter, the Petrel is a very robust, resistant and exceptionally durable binocular, with excellent mechanical and technical properties, and excellent value for money.
