Vortex Diamondback HD 10x42 Binoculars

The Vortex Diamondback HD 10x42 Binoculars deliver sharp, detailed views and rugged reliability in a versatile full-size binocular designed for wildlife observation, birdwatching, hunting, nature watching and outdoor adventures. Combining powerful 10x magnification with 42mm objective lenses, the Diamondback HD provides detailed long-distance viewing while remaining lightweight and comfortable enough for extended use in the field.

The HD Optical System is optimised with select glass elements to deliver exceptional resolution, reduce chromatic aberration and provide outstanding colour fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness and light transmission. Fully multi-coated lenses feature anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces to increase light transmission, helping provide a bright and clear image with strong performance in changing light conditions. Dielectric prism coatings provide bright, clear and colour-accurate images, while phase-correction coatings enhance resolution and contrast through the roof prism system.

Built to withstand demanding outdoor conditions, the Diamondback HD 10x42 features ArmorTek ultra-hard, scratch-resistant lens protection to help guard against scratches, oil and dirt. Durable rubber armour provides a secure, non-slip grip and additional external protection, while argon gas purging and O-ring sealing provide waterproof and fogproof performance. The rugged construction is also designed to withstand impact, making these binoculars a dependable choice for outdoor use.

The 10x magnification provides excellent detail when viewing distant birds, wildlife and other subjects, while the 42mm objective lenses provide a useful balance between light-gathering capability and manageable size. With a 6.3-degree angular field of view, 330 feet at 1,000 yards linear field of view and a 5-foot close-focus distance, the Diamondback HD 10x42 is equally suited to scanning landscapes and observing subjects at closer distances.

The binoculars feature adjustable twist-up eyecups for comfortable viewing with or without eyeglasses, while the centre focus wheel simultaneously adjusts both barrels. A True Open Hinge design provides ergonomic handling while helping reduce overall weight and bulk, and the binoculars are also tripod adaptable for longer periods of stationary viewing.

GlassPak Binocular Harness

Included with the Diamondback HD 10x42 is the GlassPak binocular harness, providing a comfortable and convenient way to carry and protect your binoculars while keeping them close at hand and ready for use. The harness offers an alternative to a traditional neck strap and is particularly useful for birdwatching, wildlife observation, hunting and other outdoor activities.
