Bushnell H2O 8x42 Roof Overview

The dark blue 8x42 H2O Roof Prism Binoculars are ideal for mid- to long-range glassing—from birdwatching to hiking & camping to enjoying sporting events, especially on or around the water. Bushnell built them using ecologically friendly glass that is manufactured without lead to be better for the environment.

They are outfitted with compact BAK4 roof prisms and anti-reflection multicoatings that work together to maximize light transmission to deliver bright, sharp, and clear high-contrast views with accurate color rendition 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 an IPX7 waterproof rating—so these binos will handle a tumble into a pond or puddle better than you.

Optical Performance
  • Moderate 8x power magnifies the view while preserving a wide exit pupil and long eye relief
  • 42mm objective lenses boost light-gathering ability versus compact models for improved low-light performance without the bulk of larger objectives
  • Compact roof prism light path keeps the optical tubes thin for easy handling
  • BAK4 prisms deliver a round exit pupil, and a crisp and clear image with limited edge distortion
  • Anti-reflection fully multicoated optics maximize light transmission while improving color rendition, contrast, and clarity
  • Apparent angle of view approaches wide angle to help minimize the appearance of the distracting hand-shake that is common when holding high-power optics, and presents an immersive observational experience
  • 350-foot field of view at 1000 yards
Use and Handling
  • Closed-bridge configuration offers a stable platform for the internal focusing mechanism
  • Textured and slip-resistant center focusing knob is easy to use even in cold and wet conditions or while wearing gloves
  • Right-eye dioptric correction dial helps to compensate for individual optical prescription
  • Twist-up eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear
  • Standard 1/4"-20 socket on the front of the bridge hinge allows the use of an optional adapter to mount the binocular onto a tripod, head, or quick release plate
  • Long 17mm eye relief improves viewing comfort with reduced eye strain
  • Wide 5.25mm exit pupil will cover pupils as they open and dilate in low light and ensures the entire scene remains in view without vignetting
Construction Details
  • Ecologically friendly glass is responsibly sourced and made without using lead or arsenic
  • Lightweight and durable aluminum alloy chassis
  • Nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof to a rating of IPX7 and resistant to internal fogging
  • Chassis armor protects against impacts
  • Aggressive texture on the armor with thumb indentations and raised palm pads for a comfortable and slip-resistant grip

Bushnell H2O 8x42 Roof Reviews

Good All-Around Binoculars

By Leanne S.
Rated 4 out of 5

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gave Binoculars as a gift and they were a good versatile pair for first time owner. The only thing I would mention is that the case isn’t good quality.

Very much pleased!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The purchase of these New Bushnell H20 8x42 Waterproof Binoculars is well worth the money. They are quality built, nice size, 6 inches long, and very clear looking through them. Nice case, carrying strap, and lens covers. Thank you Bushnell
