The binocular body is sturdy and relatively compact for a full-sized binocular, weighing 660g. The weight combined with the ergonomic design makes for comfortable use, even for extended periods.

Built-in objective lens covers are a very nice addition allowing confident usage without the risk of losing them in the field.

The Prime binoculars are IPX7 waterproof and sealed with O-rings, meaning they can be survive being submerged in 1m deep water for up to 30 minutes (although this is not recommended!). 

These binoculars are built to last, hence are covered by Bushnell's ‘Ironclad Warranty’ lasting an impressive 20 years.

Bushnell Prime Included Items:

• Soft carry case
• Protective eyecups
• Binocular strap
• Cleaning cloth
• Built-in objective lens covers

Bushnell Prime Binocular Optics

Magnification: 10x    Objective diameter: 42mm

Prism Glass: BaK-4    ED glass: No     FOV (ft@1000yds): 305

These 10x42 binoculars are suitable for many wildlife watching and monitoring purposes. This configuration is particularly effective for watching wildlife from a distance or where image detail is required for identification.

Despite being one of Bushnell’s more entry-level options, the Primes perform very well optically. High-quality BaK-4 prisms produce clear, full images.

All lens surfaces in the Prime binoculars are ‘fully multi-coated’, meaning multiple layers of a specifically designed coating have been applied. This coating is anti-reflective, increases light transmission and improves overall image brightness.
