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 131006 H20 Binoculars offer 10x magnification with 25-millimeter objectives, and a field of view of 342 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. Built to last, the 131006 H20 Binoculars carry a limited lifetime warranty from Bushnell.

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.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
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.
