From hunting and fishing to hiking and boating, all of these activities can be influenced by wet weather conditions making it even more important to have a pair of waterproof binoculars. Here are four tips to buying a pair of waterproof binoculars.

Spend enough time on the water, and your equipment will spend some time in it. That’s why Bushnell had the foresight to build the H20 series of binoculars, which are O-ring-sealed and nitrogen-purged to complete lock out moisture should you spill water on the housing, take your binoculars overboard, or simply run into foul weather along the way. The H20 binoculars feature rubber armoring with textured pads to give you a sturdy grip in slippery situations.

1) Look for Binocular that have Nitrogen filled construction

Nitrogen gas is an dry inert gas which does not fall prey to condensation buildup inside the binocular lens. Make sure your waterproof binoculars use nitrogen gas inside the objective lens chamber as well as the eyepiece.

2) Eyepiece design

Many waterproof binoculars user should consider a goggle eyepiece design. With a goggle design, there is no gap between your eye and the eyepiece, thus preventing water or fog from getting into the eyepiece and reducing your visibility.

3) Multiple layer casing or coating

The use of multi layers makes the lenses more resistant to water droplets forming on the outside of the lenses. These coatings also improve the brightness level of the binoculars.

4) Rugged water resistant casing

The casing of the binoculars need to be made of a water resistant material with proper sealing at the interface between the casing and the lens. Also, the material should be able to resist damage from being bumped or dropped.
