As a pair of affordable compact binoculars, the Vortex Optics VANQUISH 10X26 are designed for a smooth, on-the-go experience. They are fog proof and waterproof so they can handle any challenge outdoors. With their secure, non-slip grip, you don’t need to worry about dropping them. If they do slip out of your hands, you can count on their rubber armor to protect their integrity.
These optics have a Porro prism and fully multi-coated lenses. These Vortex binoculars produce bright and crisp images in broad daylight but not so much in low-light settings. Moreover, they offer a wide field of view that lets you scan your surroundings.
The adjustable eyecups allow for comfortable glassing, even for eyeglass wearers. However, despite the central focus wheel being easy to locate, these binoculars are quite tricky to focus.
