Clarity!

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.

These are perfect. They can fit in your pocket or around your neck without being obtrusive. I'm ex infantry. Weight means everything! These are as light as you'll get and still have great glass. Glass is the quality of at least higher end Nikon.

Not bad

View is crisp at short range but anything over 150yrds gets murky. Good price for what you get.

More than just a binocular

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.

Warranty Support

10 days or so ago, I sent my 10x42's in for repair. They were [probably at 8-10 years old and several years back the adjustable eye piece housing had cracked/broken. The glasses were still usable, I just had to be careful of twist adjustments. Gluing the plastic didn't fix the issue. Our raptor season ended a couple weeks ago so I decided to finally send in for repair. I was pleasantly surprised to receive full warranty replacement pair yesterday! Thank you, Bushnell for your commitment to quality and customer service/support.

Bushnell fun!

When I received them in the mail, I was delighted to see that they were the same brand as a tiny pair that I got as an employee reward in 2005. I wanted a larger pair for whale watching from shore, and I can see pretty far, which is exciting. I can also see an observatory on a 10,000 ft. summit, which is 25 miles from where I live. When I can afford it, I will get a more high-powered pair, same brand. I'm really enjoying this pair in the meantime.

Clearest view yet!

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.

Great Binoculars

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.

Totally love it. I use it for hiking and wild life watching. Very good feel. Clear and sharp image. Good enough field view to find what I want to see. Not too bulky, easy to carry. Much better than my old one.

Excellent binoculars for the money!

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.
