Questions & Answers
Is case, neck strap, and lens caps included? Expert Answer

The Vortex Viper HD 8x42mm Roof Prism Binoculars come with the Vortex GlassPak. This includes lens caps, chest harness, and neck strap.

by Hunter, Gear Expert, October 7, 2022
In what country are the Vortex Viper HD 8x42 binoculars made. Some websites say the Philippines while other websites say China.

I can answer my own question. I emailed Vortex directly and they were very responsive. The Vortex Viper 8x42 binoculars are definitely made (assembled) in the Philippines. Optics for the binoculars come from Japan. The current version of the Viper's is V200.
Don't be mislead by the photos on most sites selling these binoculars. The photos show, on the underside, "Made in China". Not true anymore. The photos are old. The current version comes from the Philippines. I hope this helps those people trying to avoid buying from China, if possible. Just my 2 cents. KevinCf

Vortex Viper HD 8x42 Binocs by Edie, March 16, 2023
As far as the binocs themselves, I am happy with them. They seem to be on par with my much heavier and older Swarovsky binocs. The only reason I got new ones was dues to the weight and I now need something lighter. I do not like the Glasspak Case an...

EDUCATION!! by adsmooth, August 8, 2023
It took me multiple Youtube videos to realize 12 x 50 was not what I needed. I was stuck on older models that offer a Zoom, however the 8 x 42 does not have a zoom, but it does not matter. 8 x 42 will have significant less SHAKE and provide an overal...

As good as my Leicas by Terry Trier, Verified Owner, September 28, 2023
These are truly excellent binoculars. I have 10x42 Leicas and wanted something a little lighter and with greater field of view and these work perfectly. Also has excellent close focusing. Small spiders leap to your eyes. What I do not like is the cas...
