The 12x25 Travelite VI Binocular from Nikon is a compact optic that features a fully multicoated optical path and ergonomic housing. A rubber armoured carbon fibre body offers lightweight and impact-resistant performance, and the contoured body with textured gripping surfaces provide slip-resistant handling, making the Travelite VI well-suited for sightseeing on vacation and glassing the ball field from the stands. Nikon's Eco-Glass optical system includes lenses and prisms that are responsibly sourced and contain no lead or arsenic. Complementing the travel-friendly size and eco-friendly glass, aspherical lenses reduce field curvature that can distort the field of view—resulting in flat images that display lifelike colour and consistent centre-to-edge sharpness.
