Complete fogproofing of internal lenses with argon-purged optics presents clear views in spite of sudden temperature changes. Diamond checker pattern in protective rubber armor provides a solid-grip surface. Argon gas purgingThis advanced process protects your Diamondback binocular in the following ways:Argon gas does not absorb or react chemically with water.

Argon gas eliminates internal fogging. Argon gas maintains its protective properties over a wider temperature range.

Argon gas does not diffuse as quickly as other elements extending the service life of the optics longer.
