The Bushnell Forge 8x42 is designed for those who demand the highest optical and mechanical tolerances in the field. Built with ED Prime glass (Extra-low Dispersion), these binoculars virtually eliminate chromatic aberration and colour fringing, ensuring every detail is rendered with lifelike precision. The optical path is further enhanced by PC3 phase-coated prisms and dielectric coatings, which achieve over 92% light transmission for exceptional performance in deep woods or during the critical low-light periods of dawn and dusk.

Durability is guaranteed by Bushnell’s proprietary EXO Barrier technology, a molecularly bonded coating that repels water, oil, dust, and debris, keeping your view clear in the worst weather conditions. Combined with Ultra-Wideband anti-reflective coatings on every lens surface, the Forge 8x42 delivers maximum brightness and true-to-life colour across the entire visible spectrum. Compact, lightweight, and nitrogen-purged for absolute fog-proof reliability, these binoculars are the definitive tool for the serious observer.

Key Features:

  • ED Prime Glass: Premium fluorite-enriched glass that delivers incredible colour, resolution, and contrast, even in high-glare or low-light situations.

  • Dielectric Prism Coating: Applied to the roof prisms to provide maximum reflectivity across the full visible spectrum, ensuring vivid colour reproduction.

  • Ultra-Wideband Coatings: A specialised anti-reflective coating process tailored to each lens element to allow the maximum amount of light to reach the eyepiece.

  • PC3 Phase Coating: Enhances resolution and contrast by ensuring the light waves remain in phase after passing through the prism system.

  • EXO Barrier Protection: Bushnell’s best protective lens coating, bonding to the glass to provide a permanent, slick shield against rain, snow, and fingerprints.

  • Compact & Lightweight Design: Engineered for comfortable, all-day use and effortless carry without sacrificing structural integrity.

  • Superior Mechanical Precision: Features a smooth focus wheel and locking dioptre for precise, tactile adjustments in the field.

  • Fully Weatherproof: O-ring sealed and nitrogen-purged to remain completely waterproof and fog-proof, regardless of rapid temperature changes.

Richard S. ★★★★★

I was worried these would be too heavy for long hikes, but the grip texture on the chassis feels solid without adding bulk. The ED Prime glass gives a crisp, color-accurate view even in low light at dawn. Very pleased with the clarity.

Owen Z. ★★★★★

The ED Prime glass makes a real difference — colors snap with detail even in low light, and the focus wheel is buttery smooth with zero play. I've owned cheaper binos before and the build quality here feels like it'll last through years of hard use.

Sofia ★★★★★

Stepped outside just before dusk and the clarity through the ED Prime glass was stunning even in low light. The focus wheel glides so smoothly that zeroing in on a distant bird felt effortless. Exactly what I needed for serious field use.
