ZeroTech Trace Advanced ED 8x42 (Peak Design Edition)

The 8×42 format balances brightness, a wide view and easy handling. The Trace Advanced ED 8×42 adds a 9.1° field of view and approximately 1.5 metre close focus, making it a natural choice for birding, wildlife, marine viewing, nature observation and travel.

Yes. The ZeroTech Trace Advanced ED 8×42 binoculars are IPX7 waterproof and nitrogen filled, resisting internal fogging in humid, wet and coastal conditions. The lightweight magnesium alloy chassis, twist-up eyecups and internal focusing are built for spray, rain and travel between changing environments. WeatherShield hydrophobic lens coatings help maintain a clear view in rain, mist and wet conditions while making the lenses easier to clean.

In the ZeroTech Trace Advanced ED 8×42 binoculars, premium Japanese Extra-low Dispersion glass provides exceptional control over different wavelengths of light, reducing unwanted colour dispersion around high-contrast subjects such as a dark bird against a bright sky, fine branches on an overcast horizon or white plumage in direct sunlight, keeping edges clean and colours natural.
