Vortex Razor HD 12x50 Overview

The 12x50 Razor HD Binoculars from Vortex fuse several proprietary optical technologies with a rubber-armored weather-sealed housing and ergonomic design, making this set of glasses ideal for birders and hunters alike. A 65° apparent viewing angle and impressive 10 ft minimum focus distance make the 12x50 model of the Razor HD great for close-up viewing as well as glassing the horizon. Thanks to their 15.5mm eye relief and twist-up eyecups with multiple click-stop positions, this Razor HD binoculars will provide a comfortable viewing distance for almost any observer.

Vortex outfitted their Razor HD series with an apochromatic optical system featuring a fully multi-coated extra-low dispersion (ED) HD lens system that maximizes light transmission while preserving sharpness and color fidelity. Phase-corrected prisms with dielectric multi-coating allow the optical path to render enhanced clarity and contrast.

Complementing the high-transmission optics is a magnesium-alloy housing that is waterproof and argon filled for fogproof performance. Protecting the exposed lens surfaces from dirt and moisture is Vortex's proprietary scratch-resistant ArmorTek coating. Enhancing the usability of the Razor HD housing is an open-bridge design that sheds excess weight, as well as contoured thumb rests that improve ergonomics and balance. The 12x50 Razor HD binoculars are backed by Vortex's lifetime warranty, and they come with flip-down objective covers, rainguard, and carrying case.

Vortex Razor HD 12x50 Reviews

Needs a better storage case

By DJ

This review is on the storage and not the optics. I have used a chest bino harness for the last 8 years. This new style that doesn’t make a good seal is just a no go for me and something this expensive. I called vortex to talk about it and they simply said this is what it is and offered no solution. I expressed that wasn’t acceptable still no solution. I expressed I would find a aftermarket solution. I purchased a large size claim shell case and am very happy with the fit. These binos will never be chest carried and this is a much better solution and should be factory
