  • The Amazing Steiner Peregrine 10×42 Binoculars

    Dec 12 • News • 5425

    When an activity calls for a pair of high quality binoculars, Steiner will not disappoint. One of their top of the line pairs is the Steiner 10×42 Peregrine Binoculars. This shockproof, fogproof, and Mil.-spec waterproof binocular is sought after by the top bird watcher, hunters, and adventurers worldwide due to its visual clarity, lightweight body, and durability.

    Every contour on Steiner Binoculars has been perfectly molded to fit perfectly in your hands and against your face, and the binoculars are sturdy and rugged, yet streamlined and clean. The Peregrine binocular series feature a broad band coating (BBC) which gives the viewer optimum brightness even in low-light conditions. Bird watchers rave over the bright and vivid colors that the 10×42 binoculars show, all while keeping the edges of high-contrast objects crisp. Another feature that distinguishes Steiner from the competition is their focusing system. Just one turn of the focus wheel can move you from as close as 7 feet to infinity. The Peregrine gives you a perfect balance of precision and speed. Another distinctive feature of the Peregrine series is the comfortable design of the eyecups. The soft rubber used is sharply angled to fit perfectly next to your eyes and eliminates stray light from the side. Combine this outstanding design spec with an extremely lightweight body (25oz) and you have one of the most demanded pair of binoculars in the industry.

    Steiner has been developing birding binoculars for the past five years, collaborating with their birding team, the American Birding Association, the NJ Audubon Society, and the Cape May Bird Observatory. With this type of specialization, you can be sure that these binoculars are worth every penny.
