Expert Binocular Group

 Product Overview

The Bushnell Forge 8x42 binoculars are designed for outdoor enthusiasts who demand high performance in challenging conditions. Built with a rugged, open-bridge (split hinge) design and wrapped in a rubber-armored coating, they are built to withstand heavy use . They are particularly well-suited for activities like bird watching, hunting, and nature observation where image clarity and low-light performance are critical .

 Optical Features

The optical system of the Forge 8x42 is its standout feature, utilizing multiple advanced coatings and high-quality glass to deliver a bright, sharp, and color-accurate image .

• ED Prime Glass: Bushnell's highest quality glass, this extra-low dispersion glass is used in the lens elements to deliver superior color fidelity, resolution, and contrast while minimizing chromatic aberration (color fringing) .

• Dielectric Prism Coating: This coating is applied to the BaK-4 roof prisms to ensure vivid, true-to-life color reproduction and allows for up to 92% light transmission, resulting in exceptionally bright images even in low-light conditions like dawn and dusk .

• PC-3 Phase Coating: Applied specifically to the prisms in roof prism binoculars, this coating corrects phase shift, enhancing resolution and contrast so you see sharper details .

• Ultra-Wide Band Anti-Reflective Coatings: These fully multi-coated lenses maximize light transmission across the entire visible spectrum for improved brightness and clarity .

 Build & Protection Features

These binoculars are engineered to perform in any environment, protected by a combination of external and internal technologies.

• EXO Barrier Protection: This is Bushnell's newest and best protective lens coating. It molecularly bonds to the glass, repelling water, oil, dust, and debris. This makes it easier to clean the lenses and ensures a clear, unobstructed view in wet or dirty conditions .

• IPX7 Waterproof Construction: The chassis is sealed with O-rings, making it waterproof and able to withstand immersion in up to 3 feet (1 meter) of water for 30 minutes .

• Nitrogen Purged / Fog Proof: To prevent internal fogging of the lenses due to rapid temperature changes or humidity, the binoculars are filled with nitrogen gas .
