Description
The ranger green Bushnell 8×42 Banner R3 Binoculars show you distant targets in rich detail. Between the fully antireflective multicoated lenses and the BAK4 prisms, you can expect a bright image with clarity and contrast, even in lower light. The lenses also feature EXO barrier coatings to repel water and dirt, while the IPX7-rated waterproof housing is nitrogen-filled to prevent internal fogging from condensation. The binoculars have a socket for attaching an optional tripod adapter and a Vault Lite chest pack is included for a secure, comfortable carry.
