Vortex Razor HD 8x42 Binoculars

Extreme terrain. Unimaginable conditions. Both test your mettle—and your optics.

With a well-earned reputation for pushing the limits of optical performance, the Razor HDs step up and out on other binoculars in their class. Small, light, bright, strong, and packed with the best quality, hand-selected prisms and premium HD extra-low dispersion glass available today. Nothing else comes close.

Small (5.9' tall), lightweight (685 grams), brighter (APO optical system) and stronger (magnesium body), the Razor HD offers the perfect combination of advanced thinking and premium components. Despite their superb value, the Razor HD binoculars are packed with the best quality, hand-selected prisms and premium HD (High Density) extra-low dispersion glass available today.

The APO optical system coupled with premium HD glass, Plasma Tech and XR Plus multi-coated lenses, along with multi-layer dielectric coating on the prism enables the binocular to, as it were, 'suck in more light' in poor lighting conditions. Add the close focus of 6ft (1.85m), the lockable dioptre setting, the twist-up eyecups and the tripod adapter all set in the Argon gas purged tough magnesium body that is rubber armoured and obviously waterproof, the Razor HD fully deserves its growing reputation.
