Features of the Bushnell Perma Focus 8x25 Binoculars

• Fully coated optics for superior light transmission and brightness
• Unique "Focus-Free" feature stays in focus at most viewing distances
• Non-slip rubber armour absorbs shock while providing a firm grip
• BK-7 Prism Glass
• Porro Prism System

The already very affordable Perma Focus binos (Fixed or Self Focusing Binoculars) allow simple, fixed-focus, long-distance viewing. They have a pretty good wide field of view which makes them ideal for a cheaper pair of binoculars for most spectator sports, distant wildlife observation. One of the biggest advantages of Fixed Focus binoculars is their lack of moving parts, this means that they should last, even if they take a few knocks and bumps along the way. So this combined with their compact size means that they are ideal to travel with.

Bushnell's quality fully coated optics make sure that your image is bright and crisp. The ergonomic rubber housing means you won't drop them, even with gloves on if you are using them outdoors in winter.
