Product Description
From the Manufacturer
These high-performance, rubber-armored waterproof and fogproof binoculars combine styling with durability, meeting the viewing needs of serious outdoor enthusiasts for hunting, nature study, birding, spectator sports, and sightseeing. The model delivers a wide field of view, 426 feet with the 8 x 42, capturing all the action.
Maximum light transmission is achieved by fully multi-coating all air-to-glass surfaces. BaK4 prisms provide clear images with no vignetting. PC-3 phase-coating dramatically improves resolution and contrast by correcting the light phase shift inherent in roof prism binoculars. A long eye relief of 17 millimeters, combined with twist-up eyecups, make the Excursions ideal for eyeglass wearers. The six-foot close focus will appeal to birders and naturalists.

This review is from: Bushnell Excursion 8x42 Waterproof / Fogproof PC3 Binocular (Electronics)
I got a pair of these for Christmas. Initially, I was skeptical about the quality of an inexpensive roof-prism optic, and this isn't my favorite brand name either. But contrary to my expectations, I've been extremely impressed with them so far.
Good brightness, contrast, sharpness, field of view, and close focus all exceeded my expectations for a binocular at this price point. Feel, fit and finish are all very good. I wear eyeglasses, and these binoculars still deliver a nice wide view through the eyepiece. The twist-down eyecups are quick to extend / retract if you are sharing these with someone who doesn't wear glasses. They come with a decent carry case, and relative to porro-prism types, the weight and compactness are both a little bit better. If you are looking for a good binocular for birding or general use, I highly recommend you take a look through these in addition to the other popular models. I think for a less serious amateur user, these hit a sweet spot for price / size & weight / performance, and I'm very happy with them. **** update **** One of the neck strap attachment points broke after maybe 6 months of use. It wasn't abused at all, it just didn't stand up to my relatively light use. When it broke, the little plastic bits fell into the grass, never to be seen again. This is too bad, because I don't see a way of repairing it easily without those parts. Upon closer inspection, the plastic retention ring on the other side had also cracked, but hadn't quite fallen apart. Minus a point for the construction quality of the strap mounting. If you get these, I recommend detaching the neck strap each time you put them away, and just be gentle with the strap in general.

The Excursion binoculars are a very good pair of optics. My buddy has a pair of Swaroski EL-1100
which we put side by side and looked at deer 1000 yds away. We could tell very little difference in the resolution. I recommend this binocular to anyone who wants affordable quality optics.

I did some research to find the best binocs in this price range. I am confident that I found them. They are great for sports or any general use.
