The Story:
These binoculars are a great value for the money. The lens is very clear and the warranty for vortex can’t be beat. After 1 year of using these binoculars I had a glazed over left eye piece with a broken seal. We sent them in to vortex (They paid shipping) and had them back good as new in about 10 days absolutely free. Even though I gave these a lower Durability score the warranty makes up for it! My only other fault would be the size and weight of the binoculars. They are not super heavy or bulky but a little more than I would like for long backpacking trips with them tied to my chest. But again, I knew what I was getting when I bought them. These binoculars are a great value for the money. I would highly recommend them.
