the Best award for excellence in optics.
Overview
You can tell the difference between true quality, high performance and hype.
You also know you could have paid more – but that you didn't have to – to
get incredible optical performance. One look at the Viper binocular will convince
you that no other binoculars in this class can deliver low light performance
with such bright, crisp images and exceptional color transmission at extreme
distances.
X-Factor Vision
Pack In Viewing Power. When details are what counts, the 10x42 Viper binocular
with X-Factor vision is a fine choice for long-range scanning.
XD (Xtra-low Dispersion) glass objective lens elements of extra-low dispersion
glass enhance image resolution and are carefully selected and precision-crafted
to exacting standards for true-to-life images of startling clarity and color
accuracy.
XR coatings deliver incredible image detail with extremely high resolution
and light transmission. Fully multi-coated, scratch-resistant coatings eliminate
annoying, image-degrading reflections and offer extraordinary brightness for
a lifetime of trouble-free lens protection.
Engineered for rough handling.
Vortex knows there are times when it's just plain hard to keep a handle
on things. That's why the Viper features trend-setting optical components with
engineering that anchors internal prisms in place for years of exceptional
viewing. Let it rain. Let it snow. Let the wind blow up a dust storm. Nothing
gets to the Viper – an absolutely dust proof, fog proof, and waterproof
binocular!
- 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.
- Metal-reinforced eyecups
are tough, durable, finished with a rubber coating, and made to endure constant
wear.
- Tapered multi-position eyecup style provides a more natural fit to
your eyes and comfortable, full-field viewing with eyeglasses.
- Lightweight
chassis promises extreme performance in a compact, 23-ounce package.
- Ribbed
rubber armor ensures a solid, comfortable grip – even when wearing
gloves.
