In this review we will take an in depth look at the Leupold BX-4 Pro Guide HD Binoculars so that you can determine if they are the right binoculars for your situation.

The specific model that we will be reviewing is the Leupold BX-4 Pro Guide HD 10×42 Binoculars.

The BX-4 Binoculars are also available in an 8X42 model, if that is what you prefer.

The Leupold BX-4 Pro Guide HD Binoculars feature a compact and lightweight design built with Leopold's proprietary Twilight Max HD Light Management System which delivers vivid brightness, edge to edge clarity, and high tech glare management elements which help you to see incredible detail in low light environments.

The high quality optics feature a hydrophobic lens coating that repels water and dirt on the exterior lens surfaces providing superior image quality, even in low light conditions.

The revolutionary ergonomic open-bridge design provides ease of use while reducing the overall weight for comfortable all day use.

The BX-4 Pro Guide HD Binoculars have made our list for the Best Binoculars for hunting.

Here's a cool video that shows you some of the features of the BX-4 Pro Guide HD Binoculars.

Leupold BX-4  Binoculars Quality

The quality of all Leupold optics is legendary and the BX-4 Binoculars are no exception.

That quality is guaranteed and upheld by Leupold's famous full lifetime warranty which states:

From the Website

"If your Leupold riflescope, binocular, or spotting scope doesn’t perform, we will repair or replace it for free - whether you're the original owner or not. You don’t need proof of ownership or a warranty card, and there’s no time limit. We do this because we believe in superior quality and craftsmanship, and we’re confident your Leupold won’t let you down."

The quality of these binoculars is evidenced by the rugged aluminum body that is rubber armour coated, along with bak 4 roof prisms and fully multi coated lenses, making the BX4 a top choice for hunting.

Design and Functionality

The design and functionality of the BX-4 binoculars is superior to all of the less expensive binoculars on the market today.

They are ergonomically designed to be slim, lightweight and to fit comfortably in your hands.

Couple that with the revolutionary open bridge roof prism design and High Definition, calcium fluoride lenses and you have a high quality set of binoculars that are a joy to use and will provide many years of trouble free service.

I found Leupold's Elite Optical System to offer superior light transmission, which ideal for bright images at dawn and dusk, when hunters need it the most. 

We should also mention that they are 100% waterproof and fog proof thanks to being nitrogen purged.

Nitrogen purging is a technique that Leupold invented while making machine gun sights and navigational devices for the United States military during World War II.
