Perfect binos! - Vortex Raptor 10x32mm Porro Prism Binoculars

I love these binoculars. I hadn't seen them in person before I bought them, but purchased anyway because I have a handful of other Vortex products and have never been anything but thrilled with their performance. These stand out because they are surprisingly sleek and smaller than I expected. They're not heavy, and they're definitely some of the least cumbersome porros I've used. Very nice, clear optics and easy to set up for my vision in both eyes (I've had trouble in the past with cheaper binoculars because I've got weird lopsided vision- nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other). I really can't recommend these enough, they may be one of the less expensive lines Vortex offers but there is nothing low-end or cheap at all about these. They perform just as well as the $2k Leica binos that I couldn't afford to replace after losing them in an extremely unfortunate "dropping them off a cliff" incident, and in hindsight I want to kick myself for spending that kind of money before when there are options like this out there.

I love the coating, it really feels secure to hold. Light transmission is great, size is fantastic, there really isn't anything bad I can say about these. They've been to Yellowstone, Glacier, on an Alaska Cruise, and to Hawaii with me so far as well as many hunting excursions and "wtf is that noise?" investigating while camping, and I've never once felt like they have failed to perform.
