Nikon Travelite Binoculars are an extremely popular model line, particularly with hikers, birders, and anyone that loves the outdoors. Their small size and powerful features make them perfect for traveling and easy to carry. They come in two separate series, detailed here:
Travelite V Series
The new Travelite V series binoculars incorporate several exciting features designed to make them more user friendly while enhancing optical performance. Nikon Travelite V binoculars utilize precision ground, multicoated optics, and high index BaK4 prisms for true color rendition, maximum sharpness and enhanced light transmission. The new binoculars use aspherical eyepiece lenses which provide a very flat viewing field and offer markedly improved edge-to-edge sharpness over many conventional lenses. A new, ergonomically contoured, carbon-fiber body makes the Travelite V easy to use for long viewing sessions without physical fatigue. The lightweight body encases a rugged all-metal chassis and is covered with a durable black rubber armor that provides added shock resistance and a positive grip in slippery conditions.
Travelite Ex Series
With its small, lightweight, and ergonomic shape, Nikon's Travelite series is popular for general use. The aspherical optics minimize distortion to provide sharp images edge to edge, and optical surfaces are multicoated for bright images. Overall, the optics are clear and sharp, and for the price, these do a nice job.
