Description
This combo pairs the Prime 12×50 binoculars with Bushnell's Vault modular harness pack, and it's the kind of setup that makes sense the second you carry glass on a long day afield. The 12x magnification and 50mm objectives are built for reaching out across big country, whether you're picking apart a far ridgeline for game or scanning open terrain for wildlife. BAK4 roof prisms and fully multi-coated lenses pull in plenty of light for bright, high-contrast images, and the 16mm eye relief means you can glass for hours without straining your eyes, glasses on or off.
What the Prime 12×50 Glass Brings to the Table
The optics are wrapped in Bushnell's exclusive EXO Barrier coating, which bonds to the lens surface and shrugs off water, oil, dust, and debris while helping fend off scratches. They're nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed with a full IPX7 rating, so a surprise downpour or an accidental dunk won't fog them up or let moisture inside. Built-in lens caps stay attached so you're not chasing them across the truck floor, and there's a 1/4-20 socket under the hinge cap if you want to run them on a tripod for steadier long-range viewing.
Why the Vault Pack Changes How You Carry
The Vault is a genuinely modular harness pack, and it's the standout half of this combo. The forward-opening magnetic lid gives you quick, quiet, one-handed access, and the magnets are strong enough to hold your binos in place even when you're bent over or the pack flips upside down. Soft-touch fabric keeps things silent when you're moving through cover, and there are stretch mesh pockets on both sides for wind checkers, calls, and small gear, plus a padded back pocket for your phone. MOLLE webbing on the bottom lets you add a holster or bear spray, and when you don't need the pack, the offset buckles clip into each other to run as a standalone harness.
Backed by Bushnell's fully transferable Ironclad Warranty, this is a solid, do-it-all package for hunters, hikers, and anyone who wants dependable glass with a smart way to haul it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can the Bushnell Prime 12×50 Vault combo be used for?
The 12x magnification and 50mm objectives make this a strong pick for long-range glassing, so it fits spot-and-stalk hunting, scanning open western terrain, and general wildlife or nature viewing. The included Vault pack keeps the weight off your neck and gives you fast, quiet access, which is a real bonus on all-day outings. At 12x it's steadier on a tripod for extended sessions, and there's a built-in socket for that.
Is the Vault pack included in the Prime 12×50 combo, and can it be used on its own?
Yes, the Vault modular harness pack comes with this combo in a color-matched slate green to the binoculars. It's designed to be flexible, so when you don't need the full pack you can clip the offset buckles into each other and run the harness on its own. The pack also fits Bushnell roof prism binos 12x50mm and below, with an included riser to raise up smaller models.
Are the Bushnell Prime 12×50 binoculars waterproof?
They carry a full IPX7 rating, meaning they're sealed to handle submersion in about three feet of water for up to 30 minutes. They're also nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to resist internal fogging when temperatures swing. The EXO Barrier coating on the exterior lenses helps repel rain, dust, and oil so your view stays clear in rough weather.
How quiet is the Vault pack's magnetic closure?
The magnetic lid is built for silent, one-handed access, so you can open it without the click or fuss of buckles when you're trying to stay unnoticed. The magnets are strong enough to keep your binoculars secure even if the pack tips upside down. Soft-touch fabric on the pack also cuts down on noise as you move through brush and cover.
