Kahles Helia 10x42 Product description

Helia 10x42 is a powerful but still very compact binocular made by Kahles, with very appealing design, great ergonomics and outstanding optics. The best of all the worlds, these binoculars never cease to amaze. They are enough lightweight for easy handling and portability for longer periods of time. Perfect for different uses in the wildlife such as hunting, bird watching, traveling etc. offers not only great ergonomics but also great optical performance. Fully multi-coated system provides high light transmission rate and razor sharp images free of any distortions that might occur and inner reflections. Beautifully designed binoculars have hydrophobic scratch-resistant protection that prolongs the life of these binoculars. Very durable construction is also filled with nitrogen gas so inner fogging never occurs even when facing the quick temperature changes in the nature. These binoculars are equipped with very large grippy central focus knob so you can easily and quickly make proper adjustments with the help of right-eye diopter.

Short Description of Kahles Helia Binoculars

Helia binoculars made by Kahles offer incredible optical performance and aesthetic appeal. You can choose two all-round models ideal for hunting, bird watching and other outdoor activities such as safari, hiking, traveling etc. Incredibly welcome open-bridge design offers you a comfortable wrap-around grip and allows you to make focus adjustments at the same time with just one hand. Good at handling and grasping due to rugged surface of a durable thick armoring, these binoculars are also very well protected. They are tightly sealed with O-rings and purged with nitrogen gas that eliminates internal glass fogging that might occur due to sudden temperature changes. For very short time they can even be submerged to a water depth of 1 meter and not get damaged. These beautifully designed binoculars with very unique accessories made from natural materials, are optically also very well equipped. They are fully multi-coated to enhance brightness, color and contrast and helps to eliminate distortions from edge to edge. External lenses are also coated with oil repellent that decreases number of wipes and thus also abrasion.

I’m sending a picture and video where the metal part of the eyepiece is broken. I don’t know where to send them for repair but if you can send me a new one I will take the two set screws out and replace it myself

Is this the same product as the Swarovski SLC 10x42? If not, do you know which Kahles product is? I’ve had great luck with the SLC and my buddy wants to have the same glass. Thanks!

Hello! I am very interested in a pair of the Kahles Helia S 10x42. I am finding some contradictory info on the Binos - are they made in Japan or Austria? Also - are there comparable Binos from Leica, such as Trinovid or Zeiss (SFL) tht I should be considering? I am a US based customer of that makes a difference… thank you!

by Tavis

Dear Mr. Powell,

thank you for contacting us.

Please note that you are referring to the first generation of Helia on the page that you refer to. These indeed are made in Asia, while the Kahles Helia S (shown on the product page below) is made in Austria.

Are these the same as the swarovski slc?

by Stewart

Dear Sir,

thank you for contacting us.

We kindly apologize for the late reply, which is a result of the increased demand for our services.

This is the older model of Kahles Helia binoculars. The ones identical to the Swarovski SLC binoculars are actually Kahles Helia S models.
