The Vortex 10x42 Viper HD Binoculars maximise light transmission through the light path for improved colour rendition and contrast across the entire visual spectrum. Both compact roof prisms are dielectric-coated, and phase-corrected coatings limit internal interference, light loss, and diffraction while maximising light transmission through the prism system. The combination of the above works together to create a clear, crisp, high-contrast image with accurate colour fidelity and crisp resolution. The large objective lenses gather sufficient light for a bright viewing experience when the available light is less than ideal, such as at dusk or dawn.
The Vortex 10x42 Viper HD Binoculars are durable for the rigours of life in the wild. The optical tubes are O-ring sealed and argon-filled to make them waterproof and dustproof. Also avoiding internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature changes.
The optical components in the chassis of the Vortex Viper HD Binoculars are protected by durable polycarbonate that is lightweight and durable while not subject to the expansion and contraction like metal.
Optical Performance
The Vortex 10x42 Viper HD Binoculars feature an 10x magnification to bring distant subjects in for close observations, while the 42x large objective lenses gather sufficient light for a bright viewing experience when the available light is less than ideal, such as at dusk or dawn.

Use and Handling
The Vortex 10x42 Viper HD Binoculars feature a closed bridge design providing a solid platform for the internal focusing mechanism. In the centre, you will find a large focusing wheel that is easy to manipulate, even when wearing gloves.
You will also find twist-up eyecups for easy use, with or without eyeware.
