With Vortex compact 8x28 Diamondback binocular, light doesn't find its way in so much as it's grabbed, bound, gagged and made to serve your will. You can trust the rock-solid performance of the Diamondback binocular across rocky, sand-carved terrain, or into the high timber of the rockies. The Diamondback's protective rubber coating gives you a sure grip that is easy to handle, even as fingers grow numb in the cold. The retractable Diamondback eyecups feature a soft, tapered style for a more natural fit at your eye - cushioned with rubber for years of relaxed viewing.
