This unit is designed to be durable and rugged (what else would you expect from Bushnell?) It has a textured grip designed to keep the Pro Sport 450 Rangefinder in your hands and not in the mud, in a puddle, on the ground. Operating this unit is very easy, with one button activation allowing to pinpoint the exact distance to your target, and crystal clear readouts will prevent the need for squinting into the view finder.

Range for this unit, depending on your target, is anywhere from 5 yards to around 1000 yards, meaning for just about any purpose the Bushnell 450 ProSport Yardage Pro Range Finder fits the bill – be it hunting, be it golf, or be it any other activity in which you need fast and accurate distances. This unit is also extremely compact – for a compact range finder this Bushnell 4x Range Finder weighs in under 8 ounces and is only 1.7 inches by 3.9 inches by 3.4 inches. To sweeten the pot, with your purchase you’ll get a 9V battery, a strap, and a case for your range finder. That makes this product go from a good deal to a great deal!

ATN PS-15-3 Gen 3 Night Vision Goggles – The Gear the Pros Use

Dec 16 • News • 4514

The ATN PS-15-3 Gen 3 Night Vision Goggles are an absolute amazing piece of technology that you can have an absolute blast with. Generation 3 is almost the top echelon of night vision technology, with only white phosphorous night vision and generation 4 night vision beating it. But third generation night vision goggles offer incredible clarity and resolution – so good that law enforcement, security professionals and private contractors, and the military utilizes Gen 3 Night Vision Devices during their night-time pursuits. How do you know it’s good? That’s how you know it’s good! And ATN is a military supplier all across the world, so bam! There’s another stamp of approval.

The ATN PS-15-3 has two intensifier tubes and no magnification, meaning these night vision goggles afford you with true depth perception and incredible resolution. If you’ve ever used night vision binoculars before, you know that night vision as portrayed by Hollywood is a myth. You cannot see crystal clear pictures 400 yards out with no ambient light, that’s just ridiculous. However, these Gen 3 Night Vision Goggles will blow you away, with their incredible 64lp/mm resolution (more is better) and strong IR emitter that means you can use this unit even with little to no ambient light. Of course, more ambient light (moonlight) is always better for picture clarity.

Now, it is important to say that this product is only approved for sale to military and law enforcement personnel and requires proper documentation. On the one hand, it’s a bummer the average citizen can’t buy this unit – though there are tons of other ATN Night Vision binoculars, monoculars, rifle scopes, goggles and more that you can purchase legally – but on the other hand, you know the product is awesome when it has those restrictions. If you are a professional who is looking for fantastic Gen 3 night vision goggles, march into your superiors office and let them know – you want the ATN PS-15-3 Night Vision Goggles. You can direct them to this article if they are wondering if they are worth the money (summary version: yes, they are.)

OpticsPlanet is one of the top night vision retailers on the web, and we’re committed to being the best ATN Night Vision retailer on the web.

5.11 Taclite Pro Shirts – Comfortable Performance

Dec 13 • News • 2988

The 5.11 Taclite Pro Shirts are the latest in performance apparel from 5.11 Tactical. With the same fine stitching and construction you would expect from any piece of 5.11 Tactical Apparel, these tactical shirts make an excellent addition to any man’s wardrobe.

511 Tactical made these shirts out of a 65/35 polyester/cotton blend as opposed to 100% cotton, which makes them lighter (only four ounces instead of the more typical six) and dry faster. The entire button-down shirt has been treated with a Teflon coating, to prevent the seemingly inevitable mustard stain. Traditional apparel isn’t typically made for the outdoors enthusiast or active man – typically all fashion over function. Sports apparel tends to make you look like a gym rat, or a college student. That’s where brands like 5.11 Tactical come into the picture. The 5.11 Taclite Pro Shirts look great – just like any other fine button-down shirt. But at the same time, this tactical button-down shirt has features that prove 5.11 understands its market. The shoulder seam is more forward than on a traditional shirt – what this means is that while it looks completely normal, if you are wearing a sling or carrying a bag, the shirt will not chafe against your shoulders. Is that understanding your customers or what? These shirts also have features you will love once you get a chance to use them, including hidden document slots, ventilation slots in the back to keep you cool, and a pen pocket on your left arm. All these little features add up to make this shirt a supreme value!

There are tons of sizes and colors, and you can see if the combo you are looking for exists on the 5.11 Taclite Pro Button-Down Shirt product page. And be sure to always check out OpticsPlanet for all your apparel needs, from 5.11 Tactical and many other fine brands!

Swarovski 10×32 EL Swarobright Binoculars – Compact and Quality

Dec 1 • News • 3517

In the 2010 Brilliance Awards, Swarovski picked up quite a few accolades and awards. One of those awards was for the Best Premium Compact Binocular, awarded to the best high-end, compact binocular. In 2010, the Swarovski 10×32 EL Swarobright Binoculars outperformed all the other contenders. Weighing only 21.5 ounces and measuring about five inches (small enough to be held in one hand!) these Swarovski Binoculars are most definitely compact – easy to keep in a small pack when traveling, with your gear when hunting, around your neck when birding or so many other activities. But even as a compact binocular the Swarovski 10×32 Compact EL Binoculars holds its own versus other full-sized, full-feature binoculars in performance, brightness, image clarity, and durability.

One of the biggest issues with compact binoculars is that because of their size, the objective lens cannot be as large as it would be in a full-sized pair of binoculars. To be fairly basic, the smaller the objective lens, the less light that the binoculars can take in, and therefore the image you see will not be as bright. Swarovski SWAROBRIGHT lens coating improves the situation by improving color fidelity, meaning less muddy images. Swarovski also is well known for that lens design, and customers have remarked that the same objective lens on a pair of Swarovski Binoculars produces brighter images than on any other binoculars. You can always check out our binocular forums for user opinions of all binoculars.

It doesn’t end there – the Swarovski 10×32 EL Compact SWAROBRIGHT Binoculars has a very close minimum distance of 2.5 meters up to infinity, and a field of view of 360 feet of 1,000 yards. Non-slip rubber armoring makes it tough, and these binoculars are fog proof, dust proof, and water proof up to four meters. Just because it’s a pair of high-end, premium binoculars doesn’t mean it can get away without being tough, durable, and rugged.

If you’re looking for premium compact binoculars, why not go for the best? The Swarovski Compact 10×32 EL Binoculars ship fast, free (see shipping policies for details) and OpticsPlanet is an Authorized Dealer for all Swaorvski products. Don’t delay, get your pair now!
