Product Description:
Like the name says, these binoculars are made for water. Splash them, soak them, dunk them - and they'll emerge 100% fog free and dry inside. Perfect for skiers, snowmobilers, anglers and kayakers. True waterproof construction and a rugged, non-slip rubber design makes the H2O series a simple choice for those whose lifestyle borders on the hyper side of active. O-ring sealed and nitrogen-purged for waterproof/fogproof protection in any season, both the fully and the multi-coated optics render bright, clear images. Take them with you - everywhere.
Amazon.com Product Description:
Spend enough time on the water, and your equipment will spend some time in it. That's why Bushnell had the foresight to build the H20 series of binoculars, which are O-ring-sealed and nitrogen-purged to complete lock out moisture should you spill water on the housing, take your binoculars overboard, or simply run into foul weather along the way. The H20 binoculars feature rubber armoring with textured pads to give you a sturdy grip in slippery situations. More significantly, the binoculars' multicoated optics and premium-quality BaK-4 prisms maximize light transmission and image clarity, so you can enjoy a clear view of the Orcas in the distance or the fast-approaching coastline. You'll quickly see how a little planning on Bushnell's part goes a long way in magnifying your adventures on or around the water. Other features include twist-up eyecups, a large center focus knob for easy, precise adjustments, and a long eye relief.

Tech Talk
Objective Lens: The diameter of the objective or front lens. The larger the objective lens, the more light that enters the binocular, and the brighter the image.
Field of View (F.O.V.): The side-to-side measurement of the circular viewing field or subject area. It is defined by the width in feet or meters of the area visible at 1000 yards or meters. A wide angle binocular features a wide field of view and is better for following action. Generally, the higher the magnification, the narrower the field of view.
Roof Prism System: In roof prism binoculars the prisms overlap closely, allowing the objective lenses to line up directly with the eyepiece. The result is a slim, stream-lined shape in which the lenses and prisms are in a straight line.

I purchased this product for sports events and it does a great job. I have a wide field of view and I can adjust it to a closeup view without without losing the steadiness of my view. I used it during the 2009 Steelers Bronco game in Denver and I did not have a problem condensation.

Nice clarity, compact, and focus is easy to get adjusted. I'm sure they're waterproof as advertised because I've been out in the rain with them and they still work. However, they are NOT fogproof as advertised. I was siting in a tree stand deer hunting on a cool damp morning and lifted the binocs to my face to look around. I got about 3 seconds of good viewing before they completely fogged over to the point I couldn't see anything through them. I might try treating the lenses with rain-x or something and hope for the best. The #1 reason I bought these was the claim Bushnell made about fogproof. To say the least I'm a bit disapointed.

Received as a gift. Unfortunately no matter how I adjust the binoculars, I can not get the left and right images to align. One image is up and left and one down and right. I own 2 other pair of binoculars that don't have this problem. Images are bright and clear, but seeing two of everything makes these binoculars useless.

Very nice binoculars at a great price. My wife has always had difficulty with seeing birds on our nature walks. These binoculars deliver a crystal clear view and are easy to adjust. Very quality construction. They feel like they will last for years.

I can understand some field biologist saying they need Swarovski binoculars and none of those should even be reading this review. For all else, I can easily recommend this product. I had used porro prism binocs earlier but these roof prism ones are so much more convenient and lighter to carry during hours of treks. And I personally tested the waterproofing claims of this product when I dropped them into shallow waters during a kayaking trip - I wiped all the water off and it was good to go in moments.
There are a couple of issues though - these lenses fogged easily enough during early morning cold temperatures. Dont know if there are any better fog-free options there but that feature isnt its best strength. Also, the neck cord Bushnell packs it with looks really cheap - I would bet my binocs will definitely outlast it. And thats a concern when all that is holding the binocs from falling down is this band.
Overall, a very good deal - I bought the 10x42 H2O when they came down to about $48 in Sep 08. So, it was a brilliant deal I got. But I'd buy it again if something happened to my current one and I had to pay $85 for new ones.
