When daylight dims and shadows deepen, the X Factor of the Vortex Viper 8x42 binocular goes to work for you. Rivaling higher-priced European binoculars, XD glass, XR coatings, and phase-corrected prisms deliver extra-high resolution and increased light transmittance- rendering brighter views than one would expect from binoculars in this class.

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 the 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.

XR multi-layer coatings deliver superb resolution and light transmittance
Xtra-low dispersion glass brings out fine detailing and natural colors
Complete waterproof protection keeps dust and water out of the optical system with tight O-ring seals
Argon filled housing ensures fogproof performance in dynamic climates
Ribbed rubber armor ensures a solid, comfortable grip even when wearing gloves

    Comments about Vortex Viper 8x42 Binocular:

    I use these binoculars for birding, hunting for wildflowers, wildlife, tide pooling, star gazing and travel. I needed them to be water proof for use out in nature and I needed close focus for tide pooling. The loss of wide angle vision that most birder's want was minimum and the close-up focus ability more than made up the difference. I also wanted a lot of light and these provided me with it. I did not want a large heavy piece and these were a lighter weight than normal!

      I am very happy with these binoculars, crystal clear and good color rendition. They are of a lighter weight than similarly sized binocs and have a great feal to them, great with eye glasses too. I would recommend this product to anyone.
