Hawke Frontier ED X Gen 2 10x42 Binoculars Green Summary
The Hawke Frontier ED X Gen 2 10x42 binoculars pair 10x magnification with bright 42mm objective lenses, making them well suited to birdwatching, wildlife and observing distant subjects in open landscapes. Additional field-flattening lenses help maintain sharpness across the frame, while the larger objectives gather more light for clear viewing throughout the day.
Positioned above Hawke’s Endurance range, the Gen 2 model combines ED glass, lanthanum ocular elements and dielectric-coated BAK-4 roof prisms with a lightweight magnesium alloy chassis. Waterproof, fogproof construction and an integrated tripod thread provide dependable performance for extended observation in challenging outdoor conditions.
Overview and Key Improvements
The Frontier ED X Gen 2 continues Hawke’s premium binocular range with a refined optical system and durable magnesium alloy construction. On the 42mm models, additional field-flattening lenses help maintain sharpness across the image, while ED glass, lanthanum ocular elements, dielectric-coated BAK-4 roof prisms and fully multi-coated optics maximise light transmission, contrast and colour fidelity. Replaceable twist-up eyecups and water-repellent objective coatings improve long-term comfort and usability outdoors.

Optical system
The Frontier ED X Gen 2 10x42 combines Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass, lanthanum ocular elements, dielectric-coated, phase-corrected BAK-4 roof prisms and a fully multi-coated optical system to maximise light transmission while maintaining sharp detail and natural colour. The wide-angle optics provide an expansive view, while additional field-flattening lenses help maintain sharpness from the centre of the image towards the edges.
Built for the field
A magnesium alloy chassis provides a durable yet well-balanced housing for regular outdoor use. Nitrogen-purged, waterproof and fogproof construction helps maintain reliable performance in changing weather, while water-repellent coatings on the objective lenses encourage rain and moisture to bead away from the optical surfaces. A built-in 1/4”-20 tripod mounting thread is also provided for longer observation sessions.
Comfortable handling
Replaceable twist-up eyecups allow the binoculars to be adjusted for comfortable viewing with or without glasses, making them suitable for extended periods in the field. The 10x42 configuration provides additional magnification for studying more distant wildlife, while the larger objective lenses maintain a bright image for observation across open countryside, wetlands and coastal habitats.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these binoculars suitable for glasses wearers?
Yes. The replaceable twist-up eyecups can be adjusted to provide comfortable viewing with or without glasses, helping you maintain the full field of view.
Can these binoculars be mounted on a tripod?
Yes. A built-in 1/4”-20 tripod thread is provided, making it easy to attach the binoculars to a compatible tripod adapter for extended observation sessions.
Why choose the 10x42 model over the 8x42 or 10x34?
The 10x42 model combines greater magnification with larger 42mm objective lenses, making it well suited to observing distant wildlife and landscape features. Compared with the 10x34, the larger objectives gather more light and the 42mm models also include field-flattening lenses to help maintain sharpness across the frame. Compared with the 8x42, the extra magnification reveals more distant detail, although the image can be slightly more sensitive to hand movement.
Are these fully waterproof?
Yes. They are waterproof and nitrogen-purged to help prevent internal fogging, making them suitable for use in changing outdoor weather conditions.
How do these compare with Hawke’s Endurance range?
The Frontier ED X Gen 2 sits above the Endurance range, combining ED glass, lanthanum ocular elements and dielectric-coated prisms to deliver brighter, sharper images with accurate colour, alongside a lightweight magnesium alloy chassis.
Are these binoculars good for birdwatching?
Yes. The combination of 10x magnification, bright 42mm objective lenses and field-flattening optics makes these binoculars well suited to observing birds over longer distances, particularly across open habitats such as estuaries, wetlands and coastal locations.
