These binoculars use new fully multi-coated lenses together with a new enhanced light transmission coating to improve brightness and contrast. In addition, they feature BaK4 prisms and Super Reflective Prism coating, including phase correction coating, which together help deliver crystal-sharp images and superb contrast.
The Pentax AD 9x28 follows the roof prism range design and includes a number of rugged, user-friendly features. The body is fully rubberized for protection and a secure grip. The binoculars are waterproof and dust proof, and they are nitrogen-purged to resist internal fogging. All of these features support reliable use in a variety of outdoor conditions.

The eyecups are twist-up style to accommodate eyeglass wearers and to provide comfortable eye-relief. The binoculars also provide close-focus capability for detailed observation at shorter distances.
