Vortex Viper 10x42 Binocular

Best of the Best for 2007

"...the right size and weight package at the right price"

Field and Stream Magazine, September 2007
 

Vortex proudly presents the 10x42 Viper, winning Field and Stream's Best of the Best award for excellence in optics.

Have you got what it takes?

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.
