I have put these binoculars through the ringer for the last 3 years now and could not be more impressed. To start, I love that the focus knob is incredibly easy to use even in frigid temps and with gloves on. I recommend these for anyone looking for a quality pair of binoculars no matter experience level with binoculars. Vortex did great with these binoculars, the price, the warranty, and the customer service is all top notch.

Worked great for elk and antelope hunting. I liked that it was lighter than my old ones and focused well.

Absolutely love the optic. Compact enough to easily fit in the case and light enough to take on long treks with the chest rig

I love binoculars, and have mainly used Bushnell Trophy Extreme 10x50 and 8x32, but decided to play around with Vortex as I've heard that they're good. Decided to bite the bullet when there are better discounts throughout the year. And babam, got them for $120. These bad boys make the image crisp and Clear, best bang for your buck! Powerful, better for the day via low light for the most part. Doesn't matter if there's inclement weather, cold, hot, wind, they will outperfuyoir expectations! Great for hunting, bird watching, etc.

Just took these out scouting hunting spots and received several compliments on quality of the glass even in less than ideal light.

I've used these binoculars for several years for work and for play. They never have let me down with their clairty and rugged durability getting banged around in my work kit. They provide excellent detail when glassing for mule deer in heavy brush and with the 10x magnification provide a good enough view which is adequate for most hunters and mid range shooters. Only thing I would change on these is if they had a version that had range finding ability.

I absolutely love the view that these binoculars give you. I was watching turkeys 70 yds. away and they looked amazing and took up most of the view.

I got these bino's for my kids and they love them. Compact and crystal clear! We were spotting deer well before shooting light with these Diamondback's!!! I wish they made the lens covers fixed so they wouldn't get lost (thanks kids) but other than that, great optics. These would be great for beginners or experts!

I use thee binos for every hunt. The visual is super easy to adjust and is always crisp. The harness it comes with is also top tier.

Just quality binos. Lost my last pair a couple years ago and was due for a new pair. The bino harness they come w are great if you have nothing else but I see myself buying a better one in the future.

I have used these binos in the Wyoming back country for 3years now. From being tossed around in my truck to packing in many miles in a Elberlestock recon harness. They have never given me an issue. The glass is still crystal clear.

Much better quality and optics than my equivalent Nikon. Solid and well made.

I had a failure on these glasses and vortex took care of me asap! If all companies stood behind their products and took care of their customers like vortex does the world would be a much better place. I dont why anyone would buy anything but vortex because of their warranty alone. But their quality is also where it needs to be as well.

Have been impressed with quality and clarity for the price. It has served me great both in the field as my ride along binos for every day use.

I was impressed with the clarity especially for the price.

I use these pretty often at work. They're always super clear, very durable and you can feel they're good quality. They don't feel like a toy, or like they're gunna break. 10x isn't really much, but unless what you're looking at is more than a couple hundred yards they should work great.

super clear optic for the price compared to more expensive options.

I use these on my work vessel in AK and they are great. They dont fog up and are easy to handle and store.

Great binoculars for the price point. I haven't had a lot of experience in the field with them, but in my few test runs I am happy with the brightness and sharpness of the image. the included bag and harness are quality and convenient. the binoculars themselves feel sturdy without feeling too heavy. I got a chance to look at the supermoon and the glasses performed well, with a bright image and sharp contrast.

I've had mine for almost 4 years now and have hunted with them every year. They're lightweight and small enough I can fit by range finder and binos in my chest pack together. I've never had a problem with them fogging up or getting scratched even through the rough stuff.

Glass is super clear and weight is great. Perfect for the pricepoint.

Incredible pricing and warranty
By Shebadog
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...
