Product Description
Spend enough time on the water, and your equipment will spend some time in it. That's why Bushnell had the foresight to build the H20 series of binoculars, which are O-ring-sealed and nitrogen-purged to complete lock out moisture should you spill water on the housing, take your binoculars overboard, or simply run into foul weather along the way. The H20 binoculars feature rubber armoring with textured pads to give you a sturdy grip in slippery situations. More significantly, the binoculars' multicoated optics and premium-quality BaK-4 prisms maximize light transmission and image clarity, so you can enjoy a clear view of the Orcas in the distance or the fast-approaching coastline. You'll quickly see how a little planning on Bushnell's part goes a long way in magnifying your adventures on or around the water. Other features include twist-up eyecups, a large center focus knob for easy, precise adjustments, and a long eye relief.

I opened the box pulled these Bino's out and the 1st thing I noticed was how heavy, solid and well built they are. I love their size they are not too large, they are a very manageable size. They are not fit in your pocket small but they are just right. It only took a few seconds to get them adjusted and focused out of the box. They have a really nice thick canvas carrying case. The pieces that cover the end lenses are thick rubber that closely attached to the Binos so you don't have to worry about losing them and they are not at all in the way. The caps that cover the front lenses are one piece of thick rubber that will easily fit in your pocket if you are on the go. I've been in the Army 12 years and everything I buy I try to make sure it can take a beating through all my field training, moves or deployments and these Bino's def pass the test.

I bought these quite a while ago, almost ten years ago, back when Amazon was just a little stream. Let me start off and say, I am not a bird-watcher. So in comparison to Leicas and Svavorski's (sp (i'm not even gonna try to spell it) I'm sure they are crap. But if you dont feel like spending six hundred dollars or more for some binoculars, these are the way to go. I've dropped them hundreds of times, let them sit in wet backpacks full of beachsand for weeks at a time, and dropped them in rocky creeks. I dont know why I'm pluralizing binoculars. Because I only bought one pair. They are a bit heavy, but as a photographer (not a digital hack/quack/photoshop dabbler!! I Shoot film damn it!) I've always known the heavier the glass the better the result. THe glass is crisp and sharp, the focus is easy, and the rubber eye covers have held on and have never chipped, torn, or gotten brittle. The rubberized housing feels high tech and durable. The 10x42 are perfect for bushwacking kooks like me, I use them to study deer trails, detours, and ridges. I use them more for studying landscape and terrain than for animal watching. So they sit a bit on the wide side, when it comes to optical viewing. These arent some crappy thirty dollar binoculars from walmart. Your grandchildren will take these on sacrilegious pilgrimages on the moons of saturn. They are a great bang for your buck. The water-proof thing always throws me off. SCUBA and beach-life has taught me NOTHING is waterproof. Granite rocks and steel pipes aren't even waterproof. Water eventually destroys (and creates) everything. I only see it as different levels of water-resistant. Stating waterproof implies you could place them on a rock at the base of Victoria Falls for six thousand years and they'd be fine. Waterproof implies you could drop them off the deepest trench of the Pacific ocean and they would descend to the bottom unharmed. But as far as water-resistant goes, I feel fine taking them on a canoe trip (as long as they are strapped to something).

Been using binoculars for 20 years now. I hunt and fish great medium size binocular! It comes with attached front covers and detached back covers for lense protection. A good case, padded neck strap, cleaning cloth. I dont mind havening them in a large cargo pocket or even on my neck for hours. Good ruber armor and grips.
