Vortex 8x42 Diamondback HD Binoculars Featuring a generous objective lens, a wide field of view, and a close focus distance of just 5 feet, the Vortex 8x42 Diamondback HD Binoculars are a versatile optic suited for a wide range of uses. They include a Vortex GlassPak harness for comfortable, extended observation sessions.

The argon-filled and O-ring-sealed housing ensures waterproof and fogproof performance, while the rubber armor provides a durable, non-slip grip. A large focus knob enables easy adjustments even when wearing gloves, and twist-down eyecups make it comfortable for eyeglass wearers.
