BIRDING TO THE EDG

I am very proud to announce that Nikon has introduced an environmentally-friendly binocular called the Nikon Eco-bins. Nikon birding has always prided itself in doing it's share of work to help out our conservation causes. From Denver Holt's Owl Research Institute to the Great Texas Birding Classic, Nikon strives to become the leader in birding conservation.

This new binocular comes in one compact version for the outdoor enthusiast in a 10x25 model size. The lens and prisms that are used in this binocular is lead and arsenic-free. Furthermore, the rubber-coating includes a chloride-free composite without the use of degrading inks and dyes. This type of glass has been revolutionized by Nikon sensing the need for a less harmful substance in our binoculars. Personally, this is one of the most durable compact binoculars I have ever seen.

I'm not done, yet! The Nikon Ecobins comes equipped with a carrying case and a strap that are made with a fully biodegradable TENCEL® Lenzing fiber. This material comes from Eucalyptus trees which are endemic to the Australia/New Zealand area, but can be grown on farms around the world due to their rapid-growth capacity. All the packaging comes from TREE-FREE materials on recyclable FiberStone®.

Knowing Nikon Sport Optics, I bet this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to revolutionizing new ideas within the sport optics market. This binocular will fair well for everyone, but for the hard-core to gentle backpacker out there, you can't beat the quality and weight that this binocular gives you.

Come try us out! Thanks for reading and stop back for more birding and optics updates and tips! Check out the Nikon Birding website for more. Good Birding!
