And a portion from every purchase goes to the NRA. Wow.
Wow, there sure is a lot of immediate negativity in this thread. My view is it a good thing to have more options from a company backed by two individuals with extensive high level experience in the optics industry. I am willing to see what they have to offer.
Did you ever see Deliverance with Burt Reynolds? Rednecks are passionate.:-OWill rednecks buy something called 'passion'....sounds a bit girly and emotional !
The Nikon has interesting specs but the initial reviews have been mixed. It may be a good strategy to be open to considering both. It seems to me to be premature to dismiss a binocular before anyone has even seen it.

Below is a better pic of the HD range and it looks pretty handsome. Folks that don't warm to open-bridge designs will be cheering.

Ha,Ha! I was going to put the link to that scene but I thought it might be to racy for some.I believe it's called 'southern hospitality' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFKdAhi_yc0

I am not sure why a 91% total transmission does not seem likely. There are other binoculars out there that have a similar spec or more. Also the 99.7% figure is shown as "99.7% ags". That looks quite explicit and not misleading.

Fantastic!
While I'm not a supporter of the NRA, they also donate to Safari Club International, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and American Birding Association. These are actually fairly good conservation groups.
Not for me.
The Passion HD is attractive looking (aesthetically), but the specs of the new Nikon HG beats it solidly (fov, weight, size, flat field). I'll still keep my eye on the new Nikon for 10x42.
Once I get my hands on these I will have to start a new thread. Let's see what should I title it? Hmmm. I got it!
