What To Look For

Brunton binoculars use the latest technology to deliver superior performance in even its least expensive models. Brunton offers lightweight, compact binoculars with SF or BaK-4 prism glass with phase coating, multicoating, AL-HR reflective coating, flatlight full multicoating or anti-fog lens coating. They are available in Mossy Oak or marine yellow finishes and come with tripod or monopod mounts. Generous warranties accompany every model.

Binoculars.com considers the Eterna 15x51 a hidden gem for anyone who needs a dependable quality long-distance image (high magnification and well-lit). The 32 oz. Epoch Zoom is one of the best binoculars in the world and have features that include 8x to 15x magnification, 17 mm multistep locking eye relief, variable speed focus and a 273 ft. field of view.

Common Pitfalls

The only apparent pitfall involving Brunton binoculars seems to involve selecting from the many exceptional choices they offer. The Echo line is made to be affordable. The Eterna line combines bright images and rugged equipment. The Epoch series is top of the line in every regard.

Because Brunton has such a large number and variety of binoculars to choose from, you should take time to consider the intended use of your binoculars and which features better fit those needs, then review the charts provided on Brunton's website for the best match before purchasing.

Where To Buy

Brunton binoculars can be purchased through the company website, but there are discount websites with more affordable prices on most models. Amazon.com also carries many Brunton binoculars.

Binoculars.com is an authorized dealer for recognized brand name binocular manufacturers. Their site allows you to sort by brand, use and popularity. They also provide expert advice, live or through on-site tutorials.

Cost

Brunton binoculars range in price from $40 to $2,600. That wide range is no mistake. The company tries to create an option to meet every need. Refurbished models are available through the Brunton website with a 30-day money back guarantee, but with no warranty. The company also has a special overstock and discontinued section. Those models carry regular warranties.

Accessories

Some Brunton binoculars come with a selection of accessories. These can include a pack strap, soft leather case, protective binocular glove and/or tripod adapter. Brunton also offers generous warranties, varying by model.

Accessories are available for separate purchase as well. The optics lens cleaning kit is a good choice for binocular maintenance and comes equipped with a cloth, cleaning solution, lens brush, tissues and a carrying case.
