Never worry about dropping your optics off the side of the boat again--the Bushnell H20 Binoculars are O-ring sealed and nitrogen purged for fully submersible, waterproof viewing. With the addition of dry nitrogen purging, you will never have to worry about the optics fogging up due to changes in humidity. Rubber armoring with textured pads offers a secure grip even in slippery, wet situations and the large center focusing knob is easy to operate even with gloves on.

The standard-sized 132410 H20 Binoculars offer 10x magnification with large, light gathering 42-millimeter objectives, and a field of view of 341 feet at 1,000 yards. Thanks to multi-coated optics and a porro prism system with premium quality BaK-4 prism glass, the binoculars provide great light transmission and image clarity at a budget friendly price. Built to last, the 132410 H20 Binoculars carry a limited lifetime warranty from Bushnell.

About Porro Prism Binoculars:
The prism system of a binocular reduces the size needed to contain a long optical path and turns what would be an upside-down image right-side-up. In porro prism binoculars, the objective or front lens is offset from the eyepiece. Porro prism binoculars provide greater depth perception and generally offer a wider field-of-view.

I ordered these as a replacement for an old pair. Definately superior quality, good heft and feel. Optics are clear, strap included is okay. May want to purchase something thicker if carrying for an extended period of time. Easy to focus.

We bought these binoculars as a gift for friends. Before giving them, I tried them out. They have wonderful optics and nice armor. Our standards of comparison were my wife's Waterproof Elites and my Leicas, both of which were almost the best binoculars available a few years ago. Ours are roof prisms, so are more compact and lighter than these porros. Otherwise, the only advantages ours have is the incredibly close focus on my wife's binoculars. Any optical superiority did not show up in our comparison, which was made on a bright day. It's really wonderful how affordable great optics have become: each of our binoculars cost nine times the price these binoculars. Of course, we do not know how well these Bushnells will hold up under use. But as far as we can see, these are a real winner. If you can afford these, don't get a cheaper pair.

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect for birding in Belize, July 6, 2010

My wife and I got these for while we live Belize because there's some great birding, and these have been perfect for us. It gives a super clear image and easy control of focusing, and we can venture around streams where birds are often very active or anywhere during the rainy season without being afraid of getting the binoculars wet.

If our pair of Bushnell H2O 8x42 binoculars happens to break or get lost, I'm sure we will replace it with exactly the same thing.
