Product Overview
Kowa SV 8x25
At just 9.1 ounces, the Kowa SV 8x25 is among the lightest, most compact binoculars available. All lenses and prisms of the SV series are fully multi-coated. The double hinge makes these compact enough to fit in a jacket (or even shirt) pocket. Through costs were reduced, superior optical performance was maintained without sacrificing critical features like being waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen gas. The 15 mm eye relief accommodates most eyeglass wearers. A close focus of just under five feet is surprising in a compact roof prism and expands the user groups into butterfly & dragonfly watchers. Overall, the Kowa SV 8x25 is an inexpensive option ideal for hiking, stowing in the glove box of our car, or in your jacket pocket when birding isn’t the primary goal (but you, just always be prepared!)
