The 12x50 Razor HD Binoculars from Vortex fuse several proprietary optical technologies with a rubber-armoured weather-sealed housing and ergonomic design, making this set of glasses ideal for birders and hunters alike. A 65° apparent viewing angle and impressive 10 ft minimum focus distance make the 12x50 model of the Razor HD great for close-up viewing as well as glassing the horizon. Thanks to their 15.5mm eye relief and twist-up eyecups with multiple click-stop positions, this Razor HD binoculars will provide a comfortable viewing distance for almost any observer.
Vortex outfitted their Razor HD series with an apochromatic optical system featuring a fully multi-coated extra-low dispersion (ED) HD lens system that maximises light transmission while preserving sharpness and colour fidelity. Phase-corrected prisms with dielectric multi-coating allow the optical path to render enhanced clarity and contrast.
Complementing the high-transmission optics is a magnesium-alloy housing that is waterproof and argon filled for fogproof performance. Protecting the exposed lens surfaces from dirt and moisture is Vortex's proprietary scratch-resistant ArmorTek coating. Enhancing the usability of the Razor HD housing is an open-bridge design that sheds excess weight, as well as contoured thumb rests that improve ergonomics and balance. The 12x50 Razor HD binoculars are backed by Vortex's lifetime warranty, and they come with flip-down objective covers, rainguard, and carrying case.
