Bad naming but a good upgrade. These should be a great bino as the weight was a common complaint with the Meostar. 29oz is allot more inline with most of the premium 42mm. This is directly from an email I sent to Meopta and is echos what Doug has been saying:
They are MeoStar quality glass. The Air is the first of an improvement / expansion of our binocular lines that will be phased in over the next couple of years. They should be available around summer of this year
