Nice optics, but not durable - Bushnell 8x36 mm AP Camo Legend Ultra-HD Binocular

I have owned these binoculars for a little over a year. The quality of the optics is good, but the gear is not durable, and Bushnell is not helpful at all in fixing the problems. First, the covers they give you for the objective lens are horrible. They fall off on a regular basis. Second, the right eyecup piece came off after my first hunting trip. It was an easy fix, but Bushnell told me it was going to take 3-4 weeks to get it fixed, and the process was very complicated. I ended up just rigging something up myself with a little glue. Now, the left lens doesn't focus when I turn the adjuster. This pair of binoculars has been in a cool storage container in the box for the last 3 months. I am writing Bushnell, but I'm not optimistic about the repair, and I have a hunting trip in 2 weeks. I am forced to buy another pair.

Bottom line is that if you want a pair of recreational binoculars that are not going to be used in difficult terrain, taken out in the cold, hot, or wet weather, then these should do the trick. I would not get these if you are going to use them for hunting or need them to accomplish a mission that requires optics.

On a positive note, the harness is very functional.
