These are some of the best binoculars I've found. The clarity of the view is perfect. They're waterproof as well. Sturdy with a non-slip grip.

So I use mine for a different purpose. Being a geologist and gis expert, I use my pair for mountain to mountain correlation and I can tell you these are beautiful. Can't get mine layers but the larger layers you can clearly see great texture and can easy spot changing layers. I don't go out a day in the field without it.

My husband and I took it out on our boat today and we both love it. It’s the clearest view we’ve ever seen through binoculars (and we have two other Bushnells). It’s easy to focus and there is no shakiness from the boat when viewing.

Well built binoculars. I could not get them in sharp focus wearing my glasses. Probably more my fault than products fault. Very heavy but I have never owned binoculars before. I was looking for something lighter.

I purchased these binoculars as a gift and they loved them. They hike in the mountains winter and summer as well as bird watch at home. They were thrilled that these are waterproof and fog proof so they can use them in all of their adventures.

Excellent binoculars for the money! 8x42's are great for bird watching or most any other activity. Easy viewing, both sharp and clear. Easy focusing. Mine focus down to about 7' even though they are rated for 12' minimum. They have enough heft for steady hand holding. The dust cover attachment is a nice feature. Eye relief is perfect for me with eye cups extended. Retracted eye cups work with sun glasses. My only quibble is a slight amount of chromatic aberration in some situations. Haven't had to test the waterproof/fog proof capability. Hopefully I won't have to but nice to know if needed!

I bought these for waterfowl hunting. Not too big and waterproof. Perfect for those nasty days in the duck/goose blind. Optics are perfect for this application.

Bought this for birding at a price-point that didn’t break the bank. Very happy so far, though I haven’t tested the waterproofness yet.
