Configured with plenty of magnification and the most popular-sized front lenses, the Bushnell 8x42 R7 ED Binoculars feature premium optics, a steady view, and good low-light performance. Between the fully multicoated extra-low dispersion glass lenses, the phase-corrected, dielectric-coated BAK4 prisms, and the field flattener design, you can expect an image with clarity and contrast from edge to edge. The lenses also feature EXO barrier coatings to repel water and dirt, while the IPX7-waterproof housing is nitrogen-filled to prevent internal fogging from condensation. You can use an optional adapter for a tripod and the binoculars come with the Vault Lite chest pack and harness for a secure, comfortable carry.
