The smaller, lighter version of the new NL Pure binoculars from SWAROVSKI OPTIK has recently gone under our spotlight to ask the question - is this the definition of peak optical performance in the smallest package possible in 2023?
Available as a 10x and 8x, it is perhaps the 8x32 version which is ideal for keen outdoor enthusiasts looking for an 'all-rounder' that packs an optical punch in everyday use wherever you may find yourself.
Perhaps the most noticeable difference apart from the objective lens size is an eye-catching new colour. In addition to the traditional green, the NL 32's will also be available in a trendy new Burnt Orange which is very pleasing on the eye and different to the standard colours available on most optics today.
Just like the NL Pure 42, one look through the 32-mm version reveals the technical ability that lies within. Thanks to the huge, revolutionary field of view (up to 69°) and the barely perceptible edges, you are completely immersed in the image, making it the most natural form of observation and perhaps touching on peak optical performance from technology that is available to mere mortals today.
The compact optics are encased in a uniquely ergonomic housing, which ensures that the NL Pure 32 fits perfectly into your hand. With an oval recess between the thumb and index finger, the shape of the binoculars conforms to your natural grip. The forehead rest provides unbeatable comfort during prolonged use and ensures steady viewing.
The accessories were a particular focus when developing the NL Pure range - which we liked a lot. The field bag is made of 100% recycled polyester (rPET). A soap & brush kit for cleaning the housing is supplied as standard. It contains a wooden brush and a palm oil-free, biodegradable soap made from coconut oil, olive oil, and shea butter with no colorants or fragrances. The soap is made in Tyrol, Austria and the brush comes from Germany. The product packaging is climate-neutral and is made of sustainable and recyclable materials.
It's hard to see where improvements will come next, as the NL Pure 32 is a champion in its field, but we will see what the later stages of 2023 brings.
