What customers say about "Key Specs"
Vortex Optics Razor HD Roof Prism Binoculars
- As far as clarify, objects are very clear and detailed - what you can expect with all of the Razor HD glass.
- During normal light razor hd very crisp and clear, easy to focus, and great at pulling out the animals in thick timber and on side hills.
- These binos are the perfect fit for anyone who does multiple shooting sports.
- RZR HD works better than I dreamed it would
- I think Vortex 10 X 42 Razor binoculars are not the best optics for that money.
Swarovski Optik SLC 10x42 Waterproof Binoculars with FieldPro Package, Green
- In addition to the high-end optics, you are also getting the lifetime, no questions asked, full warranty on these binoculars.
- The best binoculars I've owned or seen so far. Perfect clarity, true colors, very bright and so on.
- These binoculars are optically the best I have owned. Only drawback is the price, but worth it if you want this level of quality.
- Given as a gift & loved by the recipient. The last pair of binos they'll need for the rest of their life-quoted
- Good optics but they should be for how much money you have to shell out.

What customers say about "Features"
Vortex Optics Razor HD Roof Prism Binoculars
- The binos fell from the back of a galloping horse, landing in a mountain river, then sat there in a foot of water for 6 hours but still looked and performed like I just took them out of the box.
- Multi-layer prism coatings provide clear bright and color-accurate images. I am impressed!
- Adjusting the focus of both binocular barrels at the same time is very handy, good binos.
- Eye relief caps move too easily.
- Range finding capability is not enough for that price.
Swarovski Optik SLC 10x42 Waterproof Binoculars with FieldPro Package, Green
- Light weight, comfortable ergonomics ,and rubber coating keeps my hands warmer in cold weather than competing rubber coating bino's.
- Excellent glass and rugged built. A bit heavier that other comparable models but I use a full harness rather than neck strap so it is not impactful for me in the field.
- They also have the ruberied body versus the hard plastic. Another nice feature.
- They are a little heavier, but not noticeable especially if you used them with a harness. These fit the bill for an "all purpose" binocular.
- Great clarity at all light conditions
