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.

• 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

Q: 7. What size would fit Swarovski 8x32 binoculars?

A: I bought the medium Soft Pouch (camo) for my Swarovski 8x32 EL and it fits them adequately but snugly. I would recommend this for protection where you dont want a case to take up a lot of space. I travel a lot and throw these in a day pack or carry-on where I dont want to bring my larger Swarivskis. The mediums are too small for the standard sized bins like the 8.5x42 EL and the 10x42 EL.

Q: 8. Difference between Bushnell 8x 42 WP Legacy and Bushnell 8x42 H20 Porro binocular?

A: The Legacy's are just slightly better quality. The coatings are better on the model, also the construction is more durable. I personally would recommend the Legacy's, also because they are better in low light settings. The Legacy's have a 8.2 Angle of View verses these H20 Porro's only have a 7.8 degree Angle of View. Overall the Legacy is a better binocular. It's a higher series.
