Great clarity, very ergonomic

I have had these binoculars for just over a year now. They are great for the money! These binos did not break the bank and performed better than I expected them too. The clarity is awesome. The 8.5x shows very little wiggle while using them without a rest which is great when glassing off the road or while walking. I was also extremely impressed by the low light performance. The adjustable eye cups are another great feature. There's no struggling to find the "sweet" spot just set them up once, and you are ready to roll.

These binoculars awesome. They are great in low light and have great clarity. I recently took them on a safari in Africa. Our guide kept borrowing my binoculars and telling me how nice they were. He thought they should of cost twice as much as what I paid for them. With all of the clients he gets over the years and all the different binoculars he has seen it speaks volumes to the quality of this product that he liked them so much.

I can see clearly!

I bought these on clearance so for my cost they are phenominal. I consistently have friends amazed by the low light clarity when glassing coastal blacktails and elk . We compare binos side by side. Great eye relief too. The challenges to them? Very few! A bit heavy. The size inhibits smaller bino chest packs. I took them to eastern Oregon and was a bit chained on magnification for mule deer but I did expect that a bit. If you're hunting low light and poor conditions in timber and clear cuts these binos are the ticket.

Must Have

There was no way we could have gotten this bull down without my vortex diamondbacks. I was able to pick apart every little detail of the canyon, and found this bull bedded. If it wasn't for the clarity of these binos, I could have missed him completely.

The Vortex 8.5x50 Diamondback binocular's superior quality; high-performance hunting optics can find their way around your neck. Boasting large, light-grasping objectives along with greater viewing power delivered by 8x optics, the 8.5x50 Diamondback lets you close in on details missed by others at this time of day. This Diamondback rattlesnake rugged binocular is striking in how well it detects life in low light. Huge field-of-view enhances fully multi-coated optics, phase-corrected prisms, waterproof/fogproof construction, soft tapered eycups and rugged rubber armor.

You can trust the rock-solid performance of the Diamondback binocular across rocky, sand-carved terrain, or into the high timber of the rockies. The Diamondback's protective rubber coating gives you a sure grip that is easy to handle, even as fingers grow numb in the cold. The retractable Diamondback eyecups feature a soft, tapered style for a more natural fit at your eye - cushioned with rubber for years of relaxed viewing.
