Description
The Burris SignatureHD 8x42mm sits at the top of the Burris binocular lineup, and it earns that spot with genuinely good glass. HD lenses paired with phase-corrected, dielectric-coated BaK-4 roof prisms deliver sharp, high-contrast images with true-to-life color and next to no distortion out toward the edges. The 8x magnification is the sweet spot for a lot of folks: powerful enough to reach out and pick apart a distant ridgeline, but steady enough in the hands that you can glass for hours without the image jitter you fight with higher-power binos.
What Makes the SignatureHD 8×42 a Low-Light Standout
The 42mm objectives and roughly 5.3mm exit pupil pull in plenty of light, which is exactly what you want during the prime dawn and dusk windows when game is on the move. Fully multi-coated, index-matched lenses cut glare and keep colors honest, so a tan deer against brown timber still reads clearly when the light gets flat. Generous eye relief around 19mm makes these comfortable for eyeglass wearers too, and the twist-up eyecups dial in fast.
Built to Ride Along on Any Hunt
The lightweight, fiber-reinforced chassis is designed to be tougher and lighter than a traditional aluminum frame, and the open-bridge design gives you a natural wrap-around grip for confident one-handed carry. A large, textured fast-focus wheel is easy to run even with gloves on or in wet, cold conditions. Nitrogen filling keeps them waterproof and fogproof, and the rugged rubber armor handles the bumps and drops that come with real field use.
Dialing In the SignatureHD Green
This is the Green/Gray colorway, which blends in nicely for hunting while still looking sharp. At around 23 ounces with a close focus near 8.2 feet, it's a versatile all-rounder that works just as well for birding, hiking, and general glassing as it does chasing whitetail or elk. Backed by the Burris Forever Warranty, it's the kind of binocular you buy once and keep in the pack for the long haul.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Burris SignatureHD 8x42mm binoculars good for low-light hunting?
Yes, this is where they shine. The 42mm objectives combined with 8x power create a large 5.3mm exit pupil that gathers light well during the critical dawn and dusk hours. The HD glass and multi-coated lenses keep the image bright and the colors accurate when the sun is low.
Will the SignatureHD 8×42 work if I wear eyeglasses?
It should work well for most eyeglass wearers. The 8×42 model offers generous eye relief in the neighborhood of 19mm, which is more forgiving than a lot of binoculars in this class. Just twist the eyecups all the way down and you'll get the full field of view with glasses on.
What is the difference between 8×42 and 10×42 in the Signature HD line?
The 8×42 gives you a wider field of view and a steadier, less shaky image, which makes it easier to scan terrain and glass for long stretches. The 10×42 reaches out a bit farther for detail at distance but shows more hand movement. For all-around hunting, hiking, and birding, the 8×42 is the more versatile pick.
Are the SignatureHD 8×42 binoculars waterproof?
They are. The body is nitrogen-filled to seal out moisture and prevent internal fogging in temperature swings. Combined with the rugged rubber armor, they hold up fine to rain, snow, and the general knocks of field use.
