Bushnell H20 Porro Prism 8x26 Waterproof Compact Review

The Bushnell H20 Porro Prism 8x26 stands out among cheap binoculars for its waterproof and fog-proof qualities. Bushnell even claims you can drop them in water without doing any damage, although we didn't find any users who had tested that assertion. Still, one Bushnell H20 Porro Prism review on Amazon notes that these binoculars easily stand up to the rain while bird watching, and another purchaser plans to use them while hunting. The magnification of 8 provides a clear, long view that suits the requirements of a security guard who oversees a harbor, according to a Bushnell H20 Porro Prism review on OpticsPlanet.com. Bushnell H20 Porro Prism reviews also indicate that users appreciate the tactile, non-slip rubber casing and the large knob that makes for easy focusing. Another handy feature is the long eye relief (15 mm), which lets you use the Bushnell H20 Porro Prism 8x26 with your glasses on. The eyecups fold down or twist up, which gives users some flexibility. Other aspects of the design don't seem flexible enough, however; posting a Bushnell H20 Porro Prism review on OpticsPlanet, one user notes that even the narrowest setting for the eyepieces may not be sufficient for children or for adults with closely-set eyes. The 367-foot field of view is decent, and at 13.6 ounces, the Bushnell H20 Porro Prism makes a lightweight hiking or boating companion. This is the only pair of binoculars that we found in the Cheapism price range that's waterproof and compatible with eyeglasses. These are two good reasons to consider the Bushnell H20 Porro Prism 8x26 a good deal.
