Description
The Bushnell A3 10×32 lands right in that sweet spot between a pocket compact and a full-size bino. The 32mm objectives pull in noticeably more light than a smaller pair, so you get a brighter picture at dusk or under tree cover, while the whole thing still tips the scales at only about 18.5 ounces. That combination is what makes it easy to keep glassing from morning until the light fades without your neck complaining.
What the A3 10×32 Sees
Glass is where this one earns its keep. The A3 uses fully multi-coated lenses over BAK4 roof prisms, which cuts down on glare and color fringing while pushing more light to your eyes for crisp, high-contrast images with accurate color. At 10x you get a 312-foot field of view at 1,000 yards, a 3.3mm exit pupil, and 15mm of eye relief, plus a close focus down to about 9.8 feet if you want to lock in on a butterfly or a bird in the yard. The 10x magnification narrows your frame a touch compared to an 8x, but it rewards you with more detail on distant subjects.
Built to Shrug Off Weather
The A3 is nitrogen filled and IPX7 waterproof, so rain, splashes, and quick temperature swings won't fog it up internally. Bushnell's EXO Barrier coating sits on the outer lens surfaces to shed water, oil, dust, and grime, which means fewer smudges and easier cleaning in the field. The wave-textured rubber armor gives you a confident, no-slip hold even with wet hands, and it adds a layer of cushioning against the odd bump or drop.
Everyday Carry, Sky Captain Blue Style
This pair wears the Sky Captain Blue colorway and includes a color-matched case and the Snap-Lock strap system that clips on and off in a second. It's tripod-adaptable too, if you want rock-steady viewing for longer sessions. Backed by Bushnell's Limited Lifetime Warranty, the A3 is built to ride along on road trips, ballgames, national park days, and whatever weekend you throw at it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of activities is the A3 10×32 best suited for?
The A3 10×32 is a true do-it-all mid-size bino. It shines for day hikes, wildlife and bird watching, sporting events, concerts, and national park sightseeing. The 10x power gives you extra reach for distant subjects, and the compact frame keeps it easy to pack along.
Is the Bushnell A3 waterproof enough for rain and rough weather?
Yes. It carries an IPX7 waterproof rating and is nitrogen filled to prevent internal fogging during temperature swings. The EXO Barrier coating on the lenses sheds water and grime, so you can keep glassing in a drizzle without worrying about it.
Should I choose the 10×32 or the 8×32 version of the A3?
Go with the 10×32 if you want more magnification and detail on distant subjects like wildlife or a far ridgeline. The 8×32 offers a wider, steadier field of view that's easier to hold still and better for tracking movement. Both share the same body, coatings, and weatherproofing.
Can the A3 10×32 be mounted on a tripod?
It can. The A3 is compatible with standard tripod adapters, which is handy for longer glassing sessions or higher-power viewing where you want a rock-steady image. You'll just need a tripod adapter, since one isn't included in the box.
