SIG Sauer's ZULU line of binoculars was launched in 2016: the manufacturer now unveils the ZULU4 HD binoculars. Available in two models – 10x42 and 12x50 – the ZULU4 HD binoculars use a classic Schmidt-Pechan prism and combine cutting-edge optical technology with rugged durability. The proprietary coatings – SpectraCoat, LensArmor, and LensShield – that reduce glare, resist wear, and increase lens protection, and the magnesium housing with rubber armoring, are proof of this. Newly redesigned focus and diopter controls with precision contour overmold for ultra-fine adjustments are also on board.
New SIG Sauer ZULU4 HD binoculars: performance and ruggedness
The pretty expansive feature list of the new SIG Sauer ZULU4 HD binoculars includes: HD glass lenses pair high definition and high transmittance glass for ultra-high resolution and light transmission, the already mentioned proprietary anti-reflective SpectraCoat, LensArmor, and LenShield technologies, 2-position adjustable eyecups, new molded EVA carrying case for streamlined protection and IPX7 waterproof and fogproof rating. They can also be mounted to tripod adapter using a standard 1/4”-20 threaded insert.
SIG Sauer claims that ZULU4 HD binoculars are field-ready and “deliver elite performance from sunrise glassing to last-light observation” thanks to their premium high-definition glass providing unmatched resolution and light transmission.
The ZULU4 HD binoculars come in Flat Dark Earth (FDE) color. Prices are $449.99 for the 10x42 and $549.99 for the 12x50. A foam carry case and neck strap are included.
