Excellent optics at an excellent price

I'm an ornithologist. Sometimes I don't need my big expensive binoculars. These are great for walking trails in the neighborhood and also for birders who want a great value. The weight, clarity, and build of these optics are incredible. I've recommended them to many birders.

Awesome binos

Really good binoculars, super good clarity, easy to use, feel very high quality. We've used them for both land-based activities while hiking, and on the water, and love them for all uses. I don't think there are any downsides for this pair of binoculars at this price point. I think they're a great choice for anyone looking for some great binos!

Bright Views, Solid Value

These 12×50 Diamondback HD bins shine with sharp, high-contrast images-even in low light-while offering a wide field of view and rugged, balanced construction. The rubber armoring and VIP warranty give me confidence they'll last through rough outings. They're an excellent mid?level optic that punches above its weight.

Excellent Binos

Had a cheap set of Binos from Walmart and needed some better magnification but couldn't justify spending a few hundred dollars. These actually perform way better than I thought and have become a favorite at the house and in the field. Carrying bag was a nice surprise as well, plan to use them all hunting season this year.

High Quality

I use this for work and for hunting as well. They're light weight and super durable. They get tossed around in both personal vehicles and work vehicle.

Great value

Glass is good enough, the housing/ build of the binoculars is rugged, and the 'rubberized' coating makes them easy to use in any weather conditions.

Use these for work and

Use these for work and they have held up pretty good. They have been dropped and thrown around. Glass is pretty good but not thr best I have ever used. You can't beat the warranty with Vortex. It is top notch. I had somethings break on these and they either fix or replace them. Vortex has amazing customer service.

Great glass, holding up well. But it's from Vortex, so you knew that. Decided on the 8x42 due to the slight improvement in low light. Worth losing a bit of magnification.

Clear Durable Affordable

These are my go to binos at this point in my outdoor experience. The magnification is just right for the woods/prairie I hunt around. The 10x50s are a manageable size and have a solid feel to them. The adjustment knob has good smooth tactile feedback and the picture is plenty clear for what I need it for. I have always gone with Vortex for the customer support and warranty and have never been disappointed.

Wow...just bought these after spending a month on reviews and trying out several pairs. I'm not an expert but learned alot and love these...nice sturdy build, bright, focus great from side to side..no blurring or fish eye. Best warranty on the market and I read all warranties on the better brands...nothing to match including zweiss. Was torn between 8x42, 10x42 and 10x50. After salesman let me take them outside the 10x50 won my eyes. Gave me just a little more magnification without compromisi...

Great product!!

I bought these binoculars about a month and a half ago and I?ve used them several times, and I love them! They are great quality for the price !!

Make every viewing experience a memorable one with the 10x42 Diamondback HD Waterproof Roof Prism Binocular. This high-performance binocular is designed to deliver superior optical clarity and precision, making it a standout in its category.

The Diamondback HD is equipped with an HD Optical System, meticulously optimized with select glass elements. This system ensures exceptional resolution, reduces chromatic aberration, and provides outstanding color fidelity. The result is edge-to-edge sharpness and enhanced light transmission for a clearer, brighter view.

The binocular's lenses are fully multi-coated, featuring multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces. This increases light transmission, providing you with bright, clear, and color-accurate images. Plus, the lenses are protected by an ArmorTek coating, an ultra-hard, scratch-resistant layer that shields the lenses from scratches, oil, and dirt.

The binocular's construction is as impressive as its optics. It features a rubber armor for a secure, non-slip grip and durable external protection. The binocular is waterproof, thanks to O-ring seals that prevent moisture, dust, and debris from penetrating it, ensuring reliable performance in all environments. It's also shockproof, with rugged construction that can withstand recoil and impact.

The Diamondback HD is fogproof, with Argon gas purging that prevents internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures. It features a roof prism, valued for its durability and compact size, and a magnesium chassis that decreases weight while increasing strength.

For your convenience, the binocular comes with adjustable eyecups that twist up and down for comfortable viewing with or without eyeglasses. It also has a center focus wheel that adjusts the focus of both binocular barrels simultaneously, and a diopter that adjusts for differences in a user's eyes, located on the right eyepiece. Plus, it's tripod adaptable, compatible with a tripod adapter for use on a tripod or car window mount.

The bundle includes a telescoping stool/chair for comfortable viewing and a cleaning cloth to keep your binocular in pristine condition. The GlassPak binocular harness is also included, keeping your binocular close at hand, ready to deploy at a moment's notice. This harness provides protection and significantly more comfort than traditional neck straps.

Experience the world in high definition with the 10x42 Diamondback HD Waterproof Roof Prism Binocular. It's more than just a binocular; it's a gateway to a world of vivid, clear, and breathtaking views.
