Vortex Razor UHD 8x42 Reviews

Great Bino's

By Sandra
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2021-08-09

Great Bino's, very crisp & lots of light. They stack up against a pair of Swarovski 8.5 x 42 that we have. I used them extensively this past week on a camping trip. I deducted 1 star because they are fairly heavy and the harness system seems a bit cumbersome. I recommend a person test drive these vs. the HD Razor to determine if they are suitable.
