Weighing 829g and measuring 16.3cm by 13.3cm these are a little larger and heavier than the 10x42 model. So as long as you are comfortable with carrying a slightly more bulky instrument, these 10x50 Nature-Trek binoculars have their advantages in that they offer you the best of both worlds. This is because you get a bright image and good low light performance as well as a powerful magnification that brings you closer to the action with more image detail.
Just like large windows, the 50mm objective lenses are able to capture and let in a good amount of light and with the 5mm exit pupil that the 10x50 configuration generates, the shaft of light exiting the ocular lenses is large enough for your eyes to enable you to perceive a bright image in all but the very worst lighting conditions.
For a 10x binocular the field of view is good and thus these binoculars will suite the hunter, nature lover or even birder who often go out when the light is not ideal and observe their subjects over varying distances. They also make a good choice as for border patrol and other security needs and are a favourite setup when used in combination with a telescope for wide angle astronomy.
Note: The 18mm of eye relief on these is very good, as are the adjustable click-stop twist-up eyecups making this a great choice should you wear eyeglasses.
Hawke Nature-Trek binoculars received an award for all-round 8x42 model as being the best low cost binocular in 2014. Previously produced with open-bridge design, the Nature-Trek series now integrates single-hinge design build between the top of the barrels, which still gives you enough space for a proper grip. They are ultra-lightweight, waterproof, fog-proof and have great optical features with fully multi-coated system, phase correction and prism coatings as well. They are perfect for everyday use of birdwatchers, hunters and other wildlife enthusiasts.
Nature-Trek binoculars are build out of a polycarbonate body that makes them extremely lightweight. This helps you with comfortable handling for longer periods of time. The portability is less fatiguing and top-hinge design also helps with a better grip, since they leave more space to wrap your hands around. This body is tightly sealed and helps to prevent the water to enter and damage the construction. It also helps to eliminate corroding with the help of nitrogen gas filling, which also prevents internal fogging and occurrence of the mold in a long run. Nature-Trek binoculars are enclosed in rubber armouring, which is very thick and hard. They also integrate a tripod adaptable screw to mount them on a tripod and make steady images. Focusing gives very fine results due to large central focusing wheel, but is less smooth due to little resistance in the mechanism. There is also right-eye diopter below the eyecups that is tightly set on the barrel and won’t move by accident.
Nature-Trek offers binoculars with great optical performance, due to BaK-4 glass and fully multi-coated system. This significantly improves light transmission levels and prevents major distortions to occur such as chromatic aberration or inner reflections. The applied silver coatings and phase corrected coatings on the prisms help with incredibly vivid and crisp images. The series offers wider field of view for quick tracking of the subjects such as big birds. Generous close focusing distance allows you to observe the objects up close, from plants, flowers, insects etc. Nature-Trek binoculars offer multi-positioned eyecups with two click-stops to position your eyes to the proper distance from the ocular lenses without vignetting.
The Nature-Trek comes in a soft case to store binoculars with its own strap for carrying and a belt loop in case you want to carry them around the waist. There are also objective lens covers and eyepiece lens covers against scratches added. For comfortable carrying there is also a neck strap in the box.
