Explore Scientific G400 Series 10x42 Waterproof Binoculars — Crisp, Bright Views for Outdoor Observation

The Explore Scientific G400 Series 10x42 Waterproof Binoculars deliver crisp, bright, high-reach views for stargazing, birding, and outdoor observation. The 10× magnification pulls in extra detail on distant wildlife and celestial targets, while the 42mm objectives keep the image bright and the binoculars easy to carry.

BAK-4 roof prisms with phase and dielectric coatings produce sharp, high-contrast, true-color images, and the nitrogen-purged, waterproof housing stays fog-free in any weather.

Who it's for

Birders and stargazers who want more reach and detail than an 8× pair, in a compact, weatherproof body that's still comfortable to hold. New to the hobby? Compare astronomy binoculars vs a telescope.

Frequently asked questions

Can I hold 10×42 binoculars steady by hand?
Most people can, though 10× shows a little more hand shake than 8×. For long sessions or astronomy, resting your elbows or using a tripod adapter helps.

Are these good for astronomy?
Yes — 10×42 shows craters on the Moon, bright star clusters, and sweeping Milky Way fields, and doubles as a capable daytime birding and wildlife binocular.

10×42 or 8×42?
Choose 10× for more reach and detail on distant subjects; choose 8× for a wider, steadier, more forgiving view.
