Rainguard® HD: A wet lens or a misguided breath that would fog conventional glass will never cost you a view. This patented, permanent, water-repellent coating causes moisture from rain, snow, sleet or condensation to bead up and scatter less light so you get a clear, bright view when other optics would be rendered useless.
Lens coating: An uncoated lens will reflect about "10% of the light that attempts to pass through it. Magnify that by as many as ten internal lenses and uncoated optics will produce a very dim image in even the brightest situation. A lens coating can reduce reflection to as little as 4%, and sophisticated multi-layered coating to as little as 2%. So, if properly applied, the more anti-reflection coating applied to more exposed lens surfaces the better and brighter the final image will be. All Elite® binoculars are fully multi-coated with XTR, which means every lens surface is treated with multiple layers of special anti-reflection coating for the brightest image possible, allowing 99.73% of the light to products and services through.
XTR Technology: Using 60 layers of coatings on each prism, this revolutionary system harnesses and optimizes available light, boosting Elite® binoculars to their world-leading 99.73% light transmission per lens. It’s exclusive to Bushnell, and the most efficient means for transporting light through an optical system.
PC-3 Phase Coating: A chemical coating applied to the prisms to enhance resolution and contrast for the brightest and clearest images possible. |
