TAMPA, FL, January 16, 2020 – Meopta USA Sport Optics is pleased to introduce its newest premium binocular – the MeoPro Air. Elevating the MeoPro line to the next level in performance, the Air will be available in 8×42 and 10×42 models. It features an ergonomic open-hinge design and lightweight magnesium-alloy chassis built to withstand the most rugged field conditions. ED glass with Meopta’s proprietary lens coating delivers edge-to-edge clarity and exceptionally bright, sharp images while virtually eliminating chromatic aberration. Colors are true and vivid, and contrast is enhanced, making it easier to see detail in low light.
The Air binoculars feature Meopta’s MeoShield anti-abrasion lens coatings and MeoDrop hydrophobic lens coatings which repel rain, dust, and grease from lens surfaces. The twist-up eyecups are easily removed for cleaning.
“We are excited to offer a high-performance, open-hinge binocular in our award-winning MeoPro line,” said Pavel Stastny, Senior Director of Sales and Marketing at Meopta. “The Air makes glassing in even the most difficult conditions easier, thanks to the premium optics, MeoBright and MeoDrop lens coatings, and the open-bridge design which makes them especially comfortable to hold for prolonged periods.”
The Air binoculars are nitrogen purged and fully sealed for fogproof and waterproof performance in the most demanding conditions.
