Great product

Used this for a safari in Africa and they did a phenomenal job. They are a little bigger than I was expecting but that's just what you get when you order stuff online. It's not a down side to the product just need to plan for what your use is for them. The chest pack is also amazing and convenient! I would highly recommend this product!

Great Value

Big fan of Vortex optics at all price points. This is my second pair of Crossfire binoculars and love them for waterfowl scouting. I keep a pair in my truck (this pair, 10x42) and a set in my blind bag or travel bag (8x42). Quality is fantastic and the customer service is top notch.

Great Binoculars for the price!

I have used these binoculars for two years now, and I am going into my third season with them. I have carried them on the Oklahoma prairie and in the Mississippi river bottoms and they have held up quite well. Whether a guide in the Midwest or a weekend hunter, these binoculars will meet your expectations. I dropped them from my saddle a couple of times in Oklahoma before I invested in a bino-harness and I once left them on the hood of a side by side while backing off the trailer on some Mississippi Public land. After each mishap, I was able to pick them up, clean them off and they continued to work as they should. After seeing first hand the use and abuse they were able to take, I have started investing in Vortex optics for all my weapons and setups.

Great binoculars and great customer service.

Super clear and a great price. I've used them for hunting for 7-8 years. Absolutely love them! I just ordered a pair of 12x50 Diamondbacks today. Also, I dropped them and broke the lens. Called customer service and they shipped a new pair with no hassle. I'll never buy another brand. I own 3 scopes as well.

Excellent optics at a great price

I have to admit that I haven't had a new pair of binoculars since I was a kid, so the improvement I experienced may be overstated. Nonetheless, I am thoroughly impressed with every feature and aspect of these binos. When I'm not glassing for game they sit in my sunroom for observing all the activities and wildlife on the lake I live on. Unbeatable at this price!

I had the orignial crossfire 10x42's from about 15 years ago and when they finally broke after falling off a cliff vortex upgraded me to these ones no questions asked. They are definitely improved over what they were and are a great entry level binocular. Great customer service from Vortex.

Great for the price

It has a really good focal point and adjustments for the viewer and the chest case it comes with is a nice little bonus the only thing is that it's definitely not something that I still use I switched to the eberlestock bino harness but for a beginner/ intermediate lens it's super nice

Great all around tool!

Use these on Gator hunts every year, with the glass being so clear and being that I picked that bigger objective lens I can always pick out gators before anyone else. Will definitely be upgrading to the higher classes this season and passing these down to my Nephew!
