The Athlon Optics Ares 15-45x65 ED Spotting Scope was designed with advanced optical quality and ease of use on top of mind, so when you are trying to collect that trophy of a lifetime, your spotting scope is one thing you don’t have to worry about. This scope combines bright, razor-sharp imagery and a rugged, weatherproof design that’s ready for any condition. It has ED glass lenses for color resolution and contrast. These lenses are Advance Fully Multi-Coated (AFMC) and feature BaK4 prisms with the new ESP dielectric coating.

The Ares 15-45x65 ED Spotting scope brings super-premium clarity and brightness within the reach of most avid enthusiasts. The tough chassis is fogproof and waterproof and filled with Argon gas to prevent internal fogging and for better thermal stability. The lenses are then treated externally with Athlon Optics’ exclusive XPL coating to withstand dirt, oil, and grime of constant use as well as standing up to harshest weather conditions.

ED Glass Elements

ED glass gives you an image with little or no chromatic fringe so the final result brings an ultimate clearest and sharpest image to your eyes.

ESP Dielectric Coating

ESP dielectric coating is a multi-layer prism coating that reflects over 99% of the light to your eyes bringing you a clear, bright image that displays accurate color reproduction.

Aluminum Central Chassis

This chassis offers you the strength of a metal chassis and the life time durability.

XPL Coating

XPL coating gives you an extra protection on the exterior lenses from dirt, oil and scratches.

Bak4 Prism

Bak-4 glass prisms reflect more light to your eyes thus will give you brighter and sharper image.

Advanced Fully Multi-Coated

Advanced fully multi-coated lenses bring you better light transmission to bring optimum brightness and true color across the entire light spectrum.

Argon Purged

Argon purging uses the inertia gas with bigger size molecules to purge any moisture out of the tube giving you better waterproofing and thermal stability.

Waterproof

Waterproof to protect the binocular in the harshest weather conditions or if accidentally submerged underwater.

Rotating Ring

Rotating Ring allows you to rotate the scope around tripod supporting ring into the most comfortable and convenient angle for observation.
