I've never used them, but the idea of using optical coatings to contrast specific objects to make game stand out seems a little hokey. For a lens coating to do that to a point that it makes an appreciable difference, it has to severely affect light transmission (you're amplifying certain wavelengths by downplaying others). Can't see that contrast if you can't see what you're looking at in the first place.

The only review I can find that says the coatings "work" is by a guy who claims they're more fogproof because they have argon and nitrogen purging (it doesn't work that way). So I've written that one off.

Slight difference in contrast? I'm sure. Worth buying on that feature alone? Eh. For $350, you can get a better performing binocular with ED or HD glass without a marketing gimmick.
