The 10x42 Athlon Argos G2 performs optimally in wide open spaces like at the coast, in fields or in the mountains, where distances are greater and in general, the light conditions are not a limiting factor. Good quality optics mean that these will also not fair too badly in moderate to low light conditions either, especially when compared to many of their direct competitors at this price point. The field of view is respectable for a 10x power as is the level of eye-relief and so should accommodate most eyeglass users.
Consisting of four different roof prism models, spread between two different size categories, the Athlon Argos G2 series can be summarized as a diverse, affordable mid-level range of binoculars with an excellent performance to cost ratio.
Particularly notable at this price point is the high level of optical coatings that are used and which directly contributes to their class leading views.
The lightweight magnesium housing is an economical option commonly found at this price point because it is relatively robust, lightweight and completely resistant to corrosion. It is completely sealed and filled with Argon gas ensuring that the Argos is not only fog and waterproof, but also impervious to dust and other small particles. All models also have a large, easy to reach central focus wheel, comfortable twist-up eyecups with intermediate click stops and a right eye diopter adjustment to calibrate the binocular to match your particular eyesight.
The of quality of optics incorporated into the Argos is very impressive at this price range: The whole system is fully multi-coated with anti-reflective coatings that reduce undesired reflections as well as increase light transmission resulting in brighter, more defined images.
Roof prisms are fashioned from quality BaK-4 glass and are phase corrected. But what is really extraordinary is that these prisms have Dielectric mirror coatings applied to them, wheres most of their direct competitors will use silver. The difference in the amount of light that gets reflected is not trivial and certainly contributes to a brighter, better quality view.
On top of this, the Argos also uses Athlon’s Xtra protective outer lens coatings as found on the top end models.
Athlon Argos binoculars come bundled with a good assortment of accessories. This includes a well padded, comfortable neck strap. A protective carry case, with its own adjustable strap. Tethered soft rubber/plastic objective lens covers, a well-fitting eyepiece covers and a good quality lens cleaning cloth.
A lifetime warranty comes as standard with this and indeed all other high-grade Athlon binoculars and shows the high degree of confidence the company has in their products.
