Description

The Viper X Factor Packs in Viewing Power


When daylight dims, shadows deepen and you're trailing game, the X Factor of the Viper binoculars goes to work for you! Rivaling higher-priced European binoculars, XD glass and XR coatings team up for eXtra-high resolution and increased light transmittance ... delivering brighter views than you might expect from binoculars in this class. These phase-corrected binoculars enhance resolution and contrast, clearing up any question as to how many points are on that rack!

 

  • XD Glass is an Xtra-low dispersion glass objective lens for finer resolution and truer color.
  • XR multi-layer coatings are proprietary, superior lens coatings to increase resolution and increase light transmittance.

XP engineering for rough handling


Vortex knows there will be times when it's just plain hard to keep a handle on things ... that's why the Vipers feature XP engineering. This design anchors internal prisms in place, in spite of rough handling, for years of exceptional viewing. Let it rain. Let it snow. Let the wind blow up a dust storm. Nothing gets past the Viper.

 

These binoculars are absolutely dust proof, fog proof, and waterproof!

 

  • Complete waterproof protection keeps dust and water out of the optical system with tight O-ring seals.
  • Complete fogproofing of internal lenses presents clear views in spite of sudden temperature changes because of nitrogen-purged optics.
  • Ribbed rubber armor ensures a solid, comfortable grip even when wearing gloves.
  • Metal-reinforced eyecups are tough and durable.


The Viper binoculars have the wonderful solid feel that comes when all parts are machined just right and perfectly fit together. The hard-working chassis of the Viper is extremely lightweight, yet rugged. Even the eyecups are made to endure constant wear with their durable metal foundation. Tapered for a more nature fit at your eye, the multi-position eyecups are cushioned with rubber for more comfortable viewing. Whether you wear eyeglasses or not, the Viper will please you with full field viewing.




VIP Warranty - A Very Important Promise to you!


Rest assured that the Vortex Viper binoculars are covered against any future dents, defects or damages any product needing service will be repaired or replaced absolutely free!

      Comments about Vortex 8x42 Viper Binoculars:

      These are great binoculars. So good that someone lifted my first pair while I was traveling in the tropics and I immediately bought an identical set when I got back. The light gathering is excellent, so they work well in low light conditions. The focus is very quick, which is good for birding in the tropics where you often just get a quick flash of a bird and you need to be able to focus on it quickly. The close focus capability is also outstanding. The covers for the eyepieces are easy to flip on and off and keep the eyepieces clean and free from rain, dust or drips. The lens covers are also easy to flip on and off. The whole unit seems extremely well constructed and sturdy.
