Bushnell BEN842 8x42 Engage Waterproof, Ultra-wide band Coating Binoculars
See the Big Picture—Literally

Ever felt like your binoculars give you tunnel vision? With the Bushnell BEN842, you’ll finally break free. These 8x42 Engage binoculars deliver a class-leading 426 feet of view at 1,000 yards. That’s insanely wide, and yes—you’ll actually notice the difference. It’s like upgrading from a porthole to a panoramic window.
No more struggling to lock onto that fast-moving bird or scenic vista. These binoculars help you see the whole scene, just like your eyes want to.
Built Tough for Real-Life Adventures

These aren’t your average delicate field glasses. The Bushnell BEN842 is built on a rugged yet lightweight magnesium chassis, making it your ideal outdoor companion. With a rubber-armored exterior that feels solid in hand, it's designed to survive slips, weather, and whatever else you throw at it.
Weighing just 25.6 ounces, they’re light enough for a full day in the field—but still feel rock solid.
Weather? Who Cares.
Ever had your view wrecked by water spots or fog? That won’t happen here. Bushnell’s EXO Barrier Protection is bonded to the exterior lens surfaces, actively repelling water, oil, dust, and debris.

This means more time enjoying the moment and less time fiddling with lens wipes. Rainy hikes, misty mornings, or dusty trails—bring them on.
A View You’ll Want to Stare At

What makes the Bushnell BEN842 stand out? It’s what’s inside. The ED Prime Glass gives you brilliant color and insane clarity, even when the light isn’t ideal. Sunrise? Sunset? Shady forests? You’ll still get a crisp, vibrant view.
Bushnell tops that off with dielectric prism coatings and PC-3 Phase coatings, which make colors pop and details sharp. It’s like upgrading from regular TV to full-on HD.
Low Light Is No Problem

Ever tried birdwatching at dawn or catching game at dusk? That’s when most optics fail. But not these. Thanks to their fully multi-coated optics and light-efficient design, the BEN842 performs beautifully in low-light conditions. You’ll see more, even when nature dims the lights.
Smooth Focus, Steady Hands

Finding focus is a breeze. The ultra-smooth focus wheel helps you quickly dial in your view with pinpoint accuracy. Want to stay locked onto a subject for a while? These binoculars are tripod compatible—just add Bushnell’s tripod adapter and you’re good to go.
Grippy and Comfortable, No Matter the Weather

Rain, sweat, or gloves—your grip stays secure thanks to the aggressive rubber texturing. It feels great in your hand and reduces the chance of accidental drops.
Whether you're birding, hunting, hiking, or just soaking in the scenery, the Bushnell BEN842 8x42 Engage Binoculars are built to give you a better view with less hassle. Their combo of wide view, weather resistance, and optical quality makes them a must-have for anyone serious about seeing the world.
