Bushnell Prime 10x42 Binoculars (BP1042B)
The black Bushnell Prime 10x42 Binoculars are ideal for mid- to long-range glassing—from birdwatching to hiking & camping to enjoying sporting events, or just sightseeing around town.
They are outfitted with compact BAK4 roof prisms, anti-reflection multicoatings, and protective exterior lens coatings that work together to maximize light transmission to deliver bright, sharp, and clear high-contrast views with accurate color fidelity and crisp resolution, even in challenging conditions. To withstand harsh conditions, the chassis is nitrogen-filled to resist internal fogging and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and submersible—so these binos will handle a tumble into a creek better than you.
