Vortex Optics is known for making high-quality binoculars, such as the RAPTOR 10X32. For binoculars with a price tag less than $150, they render pretty impressive images from dusk to dawn.
The fully multi-coated lenses offer enough light transmission for bright and crisp images. You can easily adjust the focus using the central knob and adjust the eyecups using the twist-up mechanism.
You can also change the interpupillary distance (IPD) or the distance between the centers of both pupils by merely rotating the binoculars until the IPD aligns with your pupils. However, these optics are not the best choice for eyeglass wearers. They have low eye relief of 13 mm.
With nitrogen purging and O-ring seals, this pair performs considerably well regardless of the weather, and is capable of doubling as a pair of marine binoculars. There’s no visible fogging when the temperature suddenly changes. Additionally, the rubber armor body offers a non-slip grip.
