Description:
Magnifying life does, indeed, include sea life. And these are just the binoculars to do it. The legendary 7x50mm Marine binoculars are a premier choice for spotting marinas, deadheads, or the fisherman's best friend, feeding birds. Built to withstand the conditions that come along with the nautical world, they are not only nitrogen-purged to provide reliable waterproof/fogproof performance - the 13-7501 model is even hermetically sealed to further assure no moisture creeps in. Impressive light transmission from BaK-4 porro prisms, multi-coated optics and large UV-coated objective lenses brighten images from dusk-to-dawn. And, this model not only floats, but easy-grip rubber armoring protects and provides a secure hold should things get rough. Always nice, should an unexpected swell or throttle burst take you by surprise.Get more product details from Amazon

Bushnell warrants Katrina

Actually I had purchased the predecessor to this model approximately 24 years ago. They were repaired under warranty once at about 10 years, when I made the mistake of leaving them in my boat with a black tarp cover, in the New Orleans summer sun for 3 months. Everything in the boat was baked, and the binnoculars developed a fog inside.
br / Then in 2005 Katrina flooded my St. Bernard home with 12' of water for 3 weeks. The Bushnells had seeped storm surge seawater and dissolved gypsum sheetrock inside. This time Bushnell simply replaced the old warriors with a new modern set.
br / I think I have put these optics through 2 rather unreasonable trials and Bushnell has stood by them, no questions asked! I am very impressed with a company waranty like that and intend to show my loyalty to Bushnell in return. Good stuff from good people.

I don't know how it could be better. One of our sailing sons said it was the best he's used. I wish I could say something technical and impressive but can only be anecdotal. My Commander, USNR, Rtd. husband was delighted with this birthday present. The price was pretty good, too.
