Overview

The Bushnell 8x42 Engage Binoculars are built with a magnification and objective lens combination favoured by outdoor enthusiasts worldwide, making them your constant companion for birding, hunting, hiking, camping, sporting events, and sightseeing. Extra-low-dispersion ED Prime glass virtually eliminates chromatic aberration for exceptional colour fidelity and sharpness without fringing across the entire field of view. Broadband fully multi-coated optics with dielectric and PC-3 Phase Coatings achieve up to 92% light transmission for bright, sharp, high-contrast views with accurate colour fidelity in challenging conditions at dawn and dusk. The wide 65° apparent angle of view presents an immersive panoramic experience with a spacious 426-foot field of view. Built with a lightweight magnesium chassis, nitrogen-filled IPX7 waterproof construction, and rubber armour with textured palm pads, these binoculars are designed to withstand the harshest elements while providing a secure, comfortable grip.

Key Features:

• 8x Magnification with 42mm ED Objectives – The moderate 8x power magnifies the view while maintaining a long eye relief and wide field of view. The 42mm objective lenses improve light-gathering ability for enhanced low-light performance such as at dawn and dusk or when peering into dense brush.
• ED Prime Extra-Low Dispersion Glass – ED Prime fluorite glass lens elements reduce chromatic aberrations for increased contrast and improved colour rendition and sharpness without fringing across the entire field of view. This advanced optical material delivers true-to-life colours and exceptional clarity.
• Dielectric Coated Prisms with 92% Light Throughput – Dielectric prism coatings boost light throughput to 92% for minimal loss and diffraction, while PC-3 phase-correcting prism coatings eliminate internal interference to improve colour and contrast. This advanced prism system delivers exceptional brightness and clarity.
• Index-Matched Broadband Fully Multi-Coated Optics – Anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics are specifically engineered to match each lens element to further improve light transmission, contrast, and colour fidelity across the entire visible spectrum.
• EXO Barrier Protective Lens Coating – Proprietary EXO exterior lens coatings resist external fogging, scratches, and abrasions while allowing oil, dirt, and sap to be cleaned off without leaving smudges or residue. This innovative coating keeps your lenses clear in all conditions.
• Wide 65° Apparent Angle of View – The expansive 65° apparent angle of view presents an immersive and panoramic observational experience with a spacious 426-foot field of view at 1000 yards. This wide field is essential for birdwatching, hunting, and fast-paced outdoor activities.
• IPX7 Waterproof and Fogproof Construction – Nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to an IPX7 rating, these binoculars are waterproof and capable of temporary submersion in puddles or shallow streams. This ensures reliable performance in rain, snow, and humid conditions without internal fogging.
• Exceptional 19mm Eye Relief with 5.25mm Exit Pupil – The generous 19mm eye relief improves viewing comfort with reduced eyestrain during long glassing sessions, especially for eyeglass wearers. The wide 5.25mm exit pupil covers pupils as they open and fully dilate in low light to keep the whole scene in view without vignetting.
