Vanquish or Hurricane??

Oemfoefoe · Guest

I am looking for a compact binocular somewhere between $100 and $150.
The vanquish 8x26 and hurricane 8x28 look both interesting to me.
The hurricane has bigger FOV and eye relief and some say that a porro is better for a cheaper binocular.
Can anyone help me decide?

Hi

Dollar for dollar in a compact, you will get better optics in a porro. If optical quality is your primary concern, go with the porro. If handling is your primary concern, go with the roof.

I had a Hurricane for a day. They are not in the same class as many other Vortex.
