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.

This review is from: Bushnell H2O 10x 25mm Waterproof / Fogproof with Rainguard Binocular (Camouflage) (Electronics)

My goal was to have an relatively inexpensive pair of binoculars to have with me in my canoe whenever I paddle. This pair has filled that need admirably. For my purpose the waterproof feature was necessary. The small lens lets in plenty if light during the day so that has not been a problem; I suppose there is a point towards getting dark that these would not work well but a better larger lens pair would, but certainly not at this price. I would like a slightly larger field of vision, and perhaps more weight would make holding them steady easier, but as noted for my use these are fine; mainly getting a better look at birds in the distance. Small and light makes them easy to keep around.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK binoculars but not a winner, November 20, 2008

This review is from: Bushnell H2O 10x 25mm Waterproof / Fogproof with Rainguard Binocular (Camouflage) (Electronics)

I"ve got 50 year's experience with good binoculars and wanted a knock-around, inexpensive pair that was waterproof, fit in my pocket like these clamshells, and had good optics (obviously). I've generally used Nikon and Bushnells, so I started with those. While these H2O binocs are usable, and actually better than similarly priced Nikons, they are heavy and the optics are not as good as what I finally decided on - Vortex Typhoons - which are a GREAT binocular for the money. I was amazed at the quality of the Vortex over the Nikons and Bushnells.

This review is from: Bushnell H2O 10x 25mm Waterproof / Fogproof with Rainguard Binocular (Camouflage) (Electronics)

These are terrific binoculars. Can't praise them enough. Get the rubberized, waterproof kind as metal will stick to bare hands in the cold. I own 2 sets of these camo H2O binoculars and find that both sets keep their fine adjustment focus with no problem. Whoever said they go out of adjustment was totally incorrect. My two pairs work well in the daytime, thru early morning fog, thru heavy rainstorms, at night for viewing planes, thru just about any condition imaginable with no problems in the focus or the adjustment. Today I spotted a plane thru these but could not see it with the naked eye. I like the rubberized eye cups as well. Very well thought out product. The range of these are great for such a compact size. Also, they are very lightweight. Who wants to lug around a heavy set of 10X50 when these do the job quite nicely. A police officer friend of mine would use these on stakeouts as the palm sized profile of these binoculars would be so small she would not be spotted using them. She recommended these to me as she used them for years with very good results. The price is quite reasonable as well and well worth the money. She paid full price! Comes with a nice case as well that is snug fitting but made that way for a purpose. The lenses are polymer. If you do get your lenses accidentally scratched use a dab of furniture polish on soft cloth on the scratched lens and rub lightly and the scratches will blend in and you can't tell where they were scratched. (A trick told me by someone who knows all about binoculars and yes, it works!) Best to use an optics cloth for cleaning them or an optics brush is even better as it will not leave any scratches at all. I do like the fact that they are totally waterproof. Nothing like dropping your lenses into water and end up with an expensive paperweight! This will not happen with these. Would highly recommend these.
