Bushnell A5 Binocular 10X42 Blk

The Bushnell A5 10X42 binocular is built for hunters, glassers, and serious field enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on brightness and color fidelity when it matters most. These full-size optics pack 42mm objective lenses that gather plenty of light for reliable performance during the golden hours—dawn and dusk—when game is on the move and conditions get dim. Whether you're scanning for distant elk, glassing a canyon for mule deer, or working open country, the A5 delivers the light transmission and optical clarity serious hunters need.

The optical formula pairs dielectric and phase-coated prisms to maintain true color and edge-to-edge contrast, so what you see is exactly what's there—no color shift or optical tricks. The 42mm objectives are the real payoff here; they're why the A5 earns flagship status in Bushnell's A-Series lineup. These are honest, versatile hunting binoculars that work as hard as you do in the field.

Durability gets serious treatment. The body wears a wave-pattern soft rubber armor—textured for a secure, comfortable grip even when your hands are cold or damp. IPX7 waterproof rating means you're not babying these in rain or snow; EXO Barrier lens coatings shed water, oil, dust, and debris so you spend more time glassing and less time wiping optics. The included Snap-Lock strap system clips on and off instantly, and you get a color-matched optics pouch, lens caps, Allen wrench, and cleaning cloth right in the box. Bushnell backs the A5 with a lifetime warranty—peace of mind that lasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these binoculars waterproof for hunting in rain and snow?

Yes. The A5 carries an IPX7 waterproof rating, meaning they'll handle rain, wet conditions, and even brief water immersion. EXO Barrier lens coatings also shed water and debris, so you won't lose image clarity in the elements.

What comes in the box with these binoculars?

The A5 ships with a color-matched optics pouch, color-matched Snap-Lock strap, lens caps, an Allen wrench, and a cleaning cloth.

What is the Snap-Lock strap system?

The Snap-Lock system is a quick-connect strap that attaches and detaches from the binoculars without tools, letting you switch between a neck carry and other carry systems on the fly.

Why are the 42mm objectives important for hunting?

The larger 42mm objectives gather significantly more light than smaller binoculars, making them ideal for hunting during low-light periods like dawn and dusk when you're most likely to spot game. This brightness advantage is especially valuable in timber or overcast conditions.
