Vortex Viper HD Roof Prism Binoculars 10x42

This set of binoculars are Great!!! Magnification & clarity is outstanding. The size & weight is perfect carrying along anywhere. Would highly recommend these to anyone who is a hunter or target shooter.

Pricey, but the optics are great, especially in low light.

Love the clarity, feel and balance of the Vortex Optics Vapor HD Roof 10x42. Great value for the quality

For the last two seasons I’ve been using the Crossfires, and while they’re ok for a starter pair, they aren’t the greatest. Case in point being back in December when a small basket rack showed up at 70 yards. Had a tough time making out a third point to make sure he was legal in Western PA. Didn’t shoot him as I had gotten my buck back in late September. After having that issue, I wanted to upgrade my binos, and well the Vipers are exactly what I want. Great quality and exceptional detail. I’ve been able to watch some turkeys outside my house, and have had no problems picking out the Jakes and Hens. I look forward to seeing how well they do come archery in the fall.

A really great set of binoculars. I have been using mine heavily for birding for the last year and a half. Pros: They have great glass that is very clear and bright. They fit well in my hands. The build quality is excellent and durable. They basically look and feel exactly like the day I bought them, maybe a little patina on the rubber armor. I don't really care for the special case they come with and not many other seem to use it. The binoculars really feel durable enough that a case doesn't feel needed. I have kept mine in the truck through blazing hot summer days and freezing cold nights with no apparent distress. The locking diopter is nice because you set it once and forget about it for life. The rain caps and lens covers both work well, are durable and easy to use. There is absolutely zero backlash in the focus wheel, which makes focus precision better. Cons: The eye cups could use stronger detent. I use mine fully extended because I don't wear glasses and I frequently find the view messed up due to one of the eye cups retracting to another setting. This is really annoying when you are trying to get that real quick view of a rare bird and have to stop to fix the eye cup. The focus wheel has (I presume) some kind of damping fluid in it. At cold temps, this fluid becomes very viscous and makes the wheel very tough to turn. This issue is compounded by wearing gloves and losing grip. The neck strap connection to the binoculars comes loose at the adjustment buckle, I've moved to an aftermarket strap. I've looked at the high end binoculars in the Vortex line and have not noticed that these mechanical issues have been fixed.

Great

Vortex best warranty in the business. Very impressed with the clarity, color, and quality of these Bino’s. I have the Razor gen 2 and 3 rifle scopes and absolutely love them. These are way more than I expected for the money. Buy a pair you won’t regret it.

Very happy, satisfied with this purchase. My pair of Zeiss Conquest 10x42 was stolen. I needed a replacement pair of binoculars - but was not able to pay $1000 again. I own many VOTRTEX products including spotting scope and 6x32 binos. So I figured I would give this pair a shot. I am very happy. Worth even penny. Probably as clear, sharp as my Zeiss pair that was stolen - in all conditions. It feels a bit heavy - a tad heavy - but that tells me that it is built solid. I highly recommend for birding.

Good glass at half the price of the “big names”

So, so good! Clear vision with crystal clarity that is like seeing in 3D. These work superbly from fairly close to distant objects, I absolutely love these bins. They come with a fancy chest harness bag that is very funky and aren’t so heavy that you couldn’t cart them around all day.

Tras darle muchas vueltas me quedé con estos 10x42. La nitidez es excelente y, para mi gusto, apenas se aprecia aberración cromática. No son los más luminosos que he probado, pero me parece que es el sacrificio por la nitidez y la poca AC. Escogí X10 porque frecuento zonas de aves acuáticas y de grandes mamíferos. Si buscas unos prismáticos para bosque o distancias intermedias me quedaría en el 8x42 que me parece que balancea un poco mejor el ángulo de visión y la luminosidad.

Beautiful clarity, easy to use, not too heavy

Ottimo prodotto. Usato per bird watching amatoriale. Immagine nitida e ben delineata. Ottimo rapporto qualità e prezzo
