VORTEX Diamondback HD 8x42

The Diamondback® HD sets new standards in the relationship between price and performance, delivering a solid binocular that impresses optically. The included GlassPak™ binocular harness keeps your binoculars readily accessible, ensuring they are always ready for use. At the same time, it offers protection and significantly more comfort than traditional neck straps.
The Vortex Diamondback HD 8x42 is a bright binocular that is ideally suited for versatile nature observations. Thanks to the new HD lens system, the Diamondback HD offers an exceptionally wide field of view and an impressively low close focus limit. Even in poor lighting conditions, it delivers excellent optical performance. Its slim, compact design provides a pleasant grip, and the robust rubber armor ensures a firm hold—even with cold fingers or gloves. The binoculars are completely waterproof and dustproof and are protected against fogging by an argon gas filling. The twist-up eyecups, which can be adjusted in three stages, allow for individual adaptation to the eye distance, ensuring a complete field of view even for eyeglass wearers.
