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 compact 131205 H20 Binoculars offer 12x magnification with 25-millimeter objectives, and a field of view of 273 feet at 1,000 yards. Thanks to multi-coated optics and a roof prism system with premium quality BaK-4 prism glass, the binoculars provide great light transmission and image clarity at a budget friendly price.

About Roof 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 roof prism binoculars, the prisms overlap closely, allowing the objective lenses to line up directly with the eyepiece. The result is a slim, streamlined shape in which the lenses and prisms are in a straight line. Roof prism binoculars are less bulky and more rugged than an equivalent porro model.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not impressed, May 31, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Bushnell H2O 12x 25mm Roof Prism Waterproof / Fogproof Binocular (Electronics)

Looks great, feels great, well protected with a pseudo-armor coating but the optic quality is poor, the focusing aspects are poor ... not very good - will probably give them away soon and buy something else.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for hiking, the beach & checking up on the nieghbors!, June 28, 2011

Kate Bello (AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bushnell H2O 12x 25mm Roof Prism Waterproof / Fogproof Binocular (Electronics)

I recently moved to an area near the ocean so I wanted a child proof and portable set of binoculars that my family could take to the beach, on hikes or wherever the wind takes us.

Like you, I read many reviews and finally decided on this one and here's why:

Price friendly ****
Durable ***** (My kids always play with them - especially to watch the neighbors!)
They work great! **** (I like to watch surfers catching waves or watch wildlife in the hills next to our home)
They fold down into an attractive case (included) *****
Shipped with a long, strong strap that attaches to the binoculars *****


They arrived quickly and as described. Please - keep in mind that these are a slim design that collapses a bit so they aren't the most comfortable to use for extended periods of time.

All in all, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend these to a friend. Hope this helps you decide as well :)

Reasonable price, reasonable size, reasonable performance for a small bino.
For serious work you have to spend more and lug more.
