Vortex Razor HD 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! The apochromatic optical system combines with HD glass to provide unmatched color sharpness. Premium HD (High Density) extra-low dispersion glass delivers the ultimate in resolution and color fidelity, resulting in High Definition images. XR Plus fully multi-coated premium proprietary coatings deliver the highest level of light transmission with multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces for maximum brightness. Dialectic prism coatings provide bright, clear, color-accurate images. A magnesium chassis decreases weight and increases strength. The O-ring seals prevent moisture, dust and debris from penetrating the binocular for reliable performance in all environments. Argon gas purging prevents internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures, while ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating protects exterior lenses from scratches, oil and dirt.
