Vortex Viper 6x32 BinocularYou can tell the difference between true quality high performance and hype. You also know you could have paid more but didn't. One look at the Viper binocular will convince you that no other binoculars in this class can deliver low light performance with such bright crisp images and exceptional color transmission at extreme distances.

X-Factor VisionPack In Viewing Power. For close-quarter glassing in low light Vortex recommends the wide field of the 6x32 Viper.

XD (Xtra-low Dispersion) glass objective lens elements of extra-low dispersion glass enhance image resolution—carefully selected and precision-crafted to exacting standards for true-to-life images of startling clarity and color accuracy.

XR coatings deliver incredible image detail with extremely high resolution and light transmission. Fully multi-coated scratch-resistant coatings eliminate annoying image-degrading reflections and offer extraordinary brightness for a lifetime of trouble-free lens protection.

Engineered for rough handlingVortex knows there are times when it's just plain hard to keep a handle on things. That's why the Viper features trend-setting optical components with engineering that anchors internal prisms in place for years of exceptional viewing. Let it rain. Let it snow. Let the wind blow up a dust storm. Nothing gets to the Viper—an absolutely dust proof fog proof and waterproof binocular!

Complete waterproof protection keeps dust and water out of the optical system with tight O-ring seals.

Complete fogproofing of internal lenses presents clear views in spite of sudden temperature changes because of argon-purged optics. Metal-reinforced eyecups are tough durable finished with a rubber coating and made to endure constant wear. Tapered multi-position eyecup style provides a more natural fit to your eyes and comfortable full-field viewing with eyeglasses.

Lightweight chassis promises extreme performance in a compact 19-ounce package.

Ribbed rubber armor ensures a solid comfortable gripfor first-time users and serve as a reliable backup for veterans. They are fully compatible with nine conventional Nikon Fieldscope eyepieces. Both models have been designed primarily for birdwatching and digiscoping applications.
