Katmai Leupold Wind River Binoculars

Safari Binocular Review:
Katmai Wind River Binoculars from Leupold

The whole range of Wind River also known as Green Band  binoculars from Leupold have been optimized for the outdoors and for general nature viewing. Not all are ideal to take on safari however. I think that the most important difference between a good wildlife observation binocular and a good safari binoculars is Size.

Bigger is not always better
The last thing you want to carry in your luggage is a bulky pair of binoculars, yet you still want a pair of binoculars that perform as well as a full size version. The answer could be compact Leupold Katmai Binoculars. They have 32mm objective lenses compared to 42mm in full size versions, yet deliver the same light transmission and exit pupil as full size versions.

The smaller objective lenses mean that the binocular is far more compact and lighter than the usual 42mm versions. They come in 3 different magnifications 6x, 8x and 10x.

On top of this Katmai binoculars have:

• Fully Fog and Waterproof
• Fully Multi Coated Lenses
• Quality Phase and L-Coated Prisms
