Bushnell H2O 10x25 Reviews

Incredibly clear
by M. Vogel from Idaho, USA, 2010-06-10

These binoculars are incredibly clear and fold up very small. They fit well in my 3-day bugout bag, but if you don't have room in yours then it would definitely fit in a vehicle emergency kit or a houses bailout bag. Haven't yet tested the waterproof feature but it definitely feels sturdy enough to be dropped, so barring a manufacturer defect they should be waterproof as described.

Great compact binoculars
by L. S. Pray from Backwater, Ohio, 2010-06-04

These are terrific binoculars. Can't praise them enough. Get the rubberized, waterproof kind as metal will stick to bare hands in the cold. I own 2 sets of these camo H2O binoculars and find that both sets keep their fine adjustment focus with no problem. Whoever said they go out of adjustment was totally incorrect. My two pairs work well in the daytime, thru early morning fog, thru heavy rainstorms, at night for viewing planes, thru just about any condition imaginable with no problems in the focus or the adjustment. Today I spotted a plane thru these but could not see it with the naked eye. I like the rubberized eye cups as well. Very well thought out product. The range of these are great for such a compact size. Also, they are very lightweight. Who wants to lug around a heavy set of 10X50 when these do the job quite nicely. A police officer friend of mine would use these on stakeouts as the palm sized profile of these binoculars would be so small she would not be spotted using them. She recommended these to me as she used them for years with very good results. The price is quite reasonable as well and well worth the money. She paid full price! Comes with a nice case as well that is snug fitting but made that way for a purpose. The lenses are polymer. If you do get your lenses accidentally scratched use a dab of furniture polish on soft cloth on the scratched lens and rub lightly and the scratches will blend in and you can't tell where they were scratched. (A trick told me by someone who knows all about binoculars and yes, it works!) Best to use an optics cloth for cleaning them or an optics brush is even better as it will not leave any scratches at all. I do like the fact that they are totally waterproof. Nothing like dropping your lenses into water and end up with an expensive paperweight! This will not happen with these. Would highly recommend these.

Excellent Value Priced Binocular
by J. Martin from Cape Coral, FL, 2008-12-16

Did some reasearch on binoculars, got too much information, needed a basic model to look far down the street and at sights around town. Was a good model to choose. Solid and good optics. Not too expensive. Waterproof design was a plus for me since I live in Florida and we have very humid summers. No complaints. Might be too low power for real serious viewing.

OK binoculars but not a winner
by Jack from State College, PA, 2008-11-20

I"ve got 50 year's experience with good binoculars and wanted a knock-around, inexpensive pair that was waterproof, fit in my pocket like these clamshells, and had good optics (obviously). I've generally used Nikon and Bushnells, so I started with those. While these H2O binocs are usable, and actually better than similarly priced Nikons, they are heavy and the optics are not as good as what I finally decided on - Vortex Typhoons - which are a GREAT binocular for the money. I was amazed at the quality of the Vortex over the Nikons and Bushnells.

Binoculars

I have used these binoculars for about 2 years now. I use it for hunting. The optics are ok. What is impressive is that this pair of binoculars are tough and water-proof. I have dropped them in a creek on one occasion and they have not failed. Now that's what I call good quality.
