After almost 2 months of testing and using it, I rate these binoculars as one of the best I’ve had. The binoculars themselves are compact, the magnification is large, and the image is very clear. A plus is the convenient case, although the flap clasp could be designed a bit differently. I worry that over time it will wear out and the elastic will come off the hook by itself. It will definitely be a perfect companion for holidays and walks.
Bushnell R5 Binoculars 8x42 - Ranger Green
Featuring 8x magnification and a 42 mm objective lens, these binoculars are built with an HDOS optical system to deliver enhanced light transmission, optimal contrast, and excellent resolution. Ideal for users who need reliable equipment for viewing in diverse lighting conditions, this model excels during outdoor adventures as well as in military contexts.
HDOS optics, BaK-4 glass, dielectric coatings, Phase-3, EXO Barrier and FMC
HDOS (HD Optical System) optics deliver outstanding light transmission, balanced contrast, and sharp resolution. Prisms constructed from impact-resistant BaK-4 glass ensure superior brightness and image sharpness, offering a level of clarity not possible with binoculars that utilize more economical Bk-7 optical glass.
Prisms within the binoculars feature three distinct coating types:
- Dielectric coatings are applied to maximize light transmission and significantly boost surface reflectivity.
- Phase-3 coatings counteract phase shift losses in reflected light waves, thereby enhancing color accuracy, image resolution, and contrast.
- EXO Barrier coating shields the surface from water, oils, and various contaminants.
All air-to-glass interfaces are treated with multiple layers of FMC (Fully MultiCoated) anti-reflective coatings, effectively reducing unwanted reflections and minimizing light loss across the optics.
Focus and diopter adjustment knobs, adjustable eyecups
Fitted with control knobs for precise focus adjustment and diopter correction. Adjustable eyecups enable users to set the lens distance according to their eye socket configuration and to operate the binoculars while wearing either corrective glasses or sunglasses.
Damage-resistant design that meets IPX7 waterproof rating
Constructed from damage-resistant plastic, the housing features textured inserts that deliver a reliable, slip-resistant grip even in challenging weather conditions. The binocular barrels are purged with dry nitrogen gas and sealed with O-rings to effectively prevent internal lens fogging.
Engineered to achieve the stringent IPX7 waterproof rating, the model is protected against immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for as long as 30 minutes. An integrated socket on the housing supports tripod attachment. The use of Roof (roof) prisms ensures the binoculars remain compact and highly portable.

Large, solid binoculars. Very comfortable to use, optics of excellent quality. Additionally, a lot of accessories that facilitate safe transport and storage.

For me, it's a really nice device for trips. It fits well in the hand, and the image is sharp. One star less because Bushnell’s 30-year warranty only applies in the US/Canada. Here, we only have the standard 2 years.

The damage-resistant material used for the casing, combined with textured inserts, guarantees a firm and stable grip. The sound quality is great. I recommend it.
