Description

Remlite’s GPI Passion HD 8×42 binoculars – lightweight clarity for hunting and hiking in New Zealand.

For outdoor enthusiasts seeking premium optics, the GPI Passion HD 8×42 stands out as one of the most advanced binoculars in its class. Built with precision engineering and high-grade materials, it is a trusted choice for hunters, trampers, and hikers who demand reliability without unnecessary weight. At Remlite, we select gear proven to withstand New Zealand’s rugged backcountry, and this model embodies the durability and clarity that define our ultralight philosophy.

Optical Excellence in the Outdoors

Firstly, these binoculars feature HD optics with state-of-the-art multi-layer coatings that maximise transmission and colour fidelity. Consequently, users experience a wide, sharp, and vivid image across the entire field of view. With a generous 125 metres at 1,000 metres, scanning landscapes or tracking game becomes effortless and natural. Additionally, the 92% light transmission ensures optimal performance even in low-light conditions, such as dawn and dusk when wildlife is most active.

Durable Yet Lightweight Construction

Moreover, the GPI Passion HD 8×42 incorporates a magnesium body and micro-bridge, combining robustness with reduced weight. At just 850 grams, these binoculars remain easy to carry over long tramps or hunting trips. Aluminium rotating eyecups add precision and resilience, while the integrated diopter adjustment in the central focusing wheel ensures intuitive handling. This balance of strength and lightness aligns with Remlite’s focus on ultralight gear designed for extended adventures.

Performance in All Conditions

Importantly, the PASSIONdrop™ water-repellent coating keeps lenses clear from water and dirt, allowing dependable use in New Zealand’s unpredictable weather. With waterproofing to 300 mbar and a close focus of just 2 metres, the GPI Passion HD 8×42 adapts to both expansive vistas and detailed observations. Adventurers can count on consistent clarity whether glassing alpine ridgelines, dense bush, or coastal terrain.

Comfort and Practicality

Equally significant, comfort remains at the forefront of design. With 19.5 mm of eye relief and a 5.25 mm exit pupil, these binoculars are ideal for extended use. The ergonomic micro-bridge design ensures stability, even at higher magnifications, reducing image unsteadiness for a steady view. Included accessories such as a hard case, neck strap, and protective covers further enhance usability, making this a complete package for the backcountry explorer.
