Kahles HELIA S 8x42 Product description

About Kahles

Kahles is an optics manufacturer with a rich tradition, as they have been around since 1898 and are among the oldest riflescope manufacturers. As a subsidiary of Swarovski OPTIK for the past 43 years, Kahles products are popular among tactical and sports shooters.

Kahles decided on a complete makeover of their brand, so the company made some changes to their business tactic. Helia S 8x42 is made in Austria.

About the Product (8x42)

Kahles Helia S 8x42 binoculars are dressed in a combination of orange and brown, which looks both elegant and sporty. The rubber is solid and provides a firm grip. There are indentations for the thumbs at the bottom of the barrels for additional comfort. The housing is made of magnesium.

The 8x42 binoculars sport a single-bridge design, but it is not completely central, so the user can still hold them in one hand. The surface provides a good grip, and the optics have a slow focus. The eyepieces can be adjusted to 3 positions and are comfortable to use, even for those who wear glasses. Kahles Helia S is an ideal pair of binoculars for hunters.

Main Features

  • Magnesium body

  • Rubber armouring (provides a firm grip)

  • Single-bridge design

  • Waterproof (nitrogen gas purged)

  • Dust and water repellent coating on the outer surface of the glass

  • Fog-resistant

  • Can be mounted on a tripod

  • Central focus wheel

  • Wide field of view

Optical Properties

This model of the Kahles Helia S binoculars has a magnification of 8x, which offers a wider field of view compared to the 10x magnification model, but the user does not get to see as many details.

The 8x magnification models are more suitable for beginners, as the handshaking is less noticeable. The field of view of Helia S 8x42 is 136 m at 1000 m. The image is sharp, and the edge sharpness is great. The biggest advantage of these binoculars is certainly their optical quality.
