Enjoy reliable performance from this pair of durable Bushnell Explorer 10×28 binoculars while hunting, fishing or hiking. Offering a 10x magnification and 28mm objective lens size, they feature multi-coated lenses to reduce light loss and glare due to reflection, and BaK-4 roof prisms–made from a higher quality glass (barium crown) that helps produce brighter images and high edge-to-edge sharpness. They’re also built tough, with a rubber-armored housing that’s O-ring sealed and nitrogen purged for 100 percent waterproof and fogproof dependability.
Rubber armor provides multiple benefits. It helps protect the binocular from the bumps and scratches that come with day-to-day use. It provides a comfortable gripping surface for making them easier to hold on to. It’s easy to wipe clean after a tough day in the field. And it suppresses noise if the binocular bumps aluminum or other non-rubber surfaces, which might otherwise spook wildlife.

Tech Talk:
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, streamlined shape in which the lenses and prisms are in a straight line. Roof prism binoculars are less bulky and more rugged than an equivalent porro model.
Exit Pupil–Refers to the size of the circle of light visible at the eyepiece of a binocular. The larger the exit pupil, the brighter the image. To determine the size, divide the objective lens diameter by the power (an 8×32 model has an exit pupil of 4mm).
Eye Relief–The distance a binocular can be held away from the eye and still present the full field-of-view. Extended or long eye relief reduces eyestrain and is ideal for eyeglass wearers.
Field-of-View (F.O.V.)–The side-to-side measurement of the circular viewing field or subject area, 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.

Never had a problem with Bushnell, but could not get an image with these, and had to return them.

Was disappointed it is hard to focus and I really needed a stronger lense. But was received on time in good working order.

Binoculars look very nice but one side does not focus, in fact, can see through only one side. Due to the fact that I paid so little, I am not going to hassle with sending them back, but won’t buy through that channel of Amazon in the future. This is my first disappointment with Amazon and I truly hope it to be my last. (Bushnell 10×28 Explorer Waterproof Binoculars)

Cheaply constructed of plastic but the binocs are ok. The strap connecting holders on sides of binocs are very flimsy plastic. One of them was broken before I opened the bubble wrap, making it impossible to ever attach the neck strap.
