Vortex 10x42 Sidewinder Binocular

Taking their lead from the Sidewinder’s namesake, these rugged 8x42 and 10x42 binoculars are striking in how well they detect life in harsh environments. Whether your adventures carry you across rocky, sand-carved terrain, or the high timber of the Rockies, you can trust the Sidewinder binoculars. Complete waterproofing with tight O-ring seals and internal fog proofing with nitrogen purged optics lock out any concern for blowing dust, driving rains and heavy snow.

Consider the snake with its coat of tough, durable scales—it’s no better off than a Sidewinder wielding its ridged rubber armor … but you are. The Sidewinder’s protective coating is much easier to handle, even with heavily gloved hands, for a solid grip in any weather. Whether or not you wear eyeglasses, the twist-and-lock eyecups bring you a custom fit for the fullest field of view. Built on a solid metal frame, and covered with tried and true rubber, the tapered eyecups of the Sidewinder boast a more natural fit for years of relaxed viewing … with all the cushiony comfort of that bunk waiting at camp.

As you move along the trail with your Sidewinder binoculars hanging from a comfort neck strap, tethered objective lens covers and an attachable rainguard are always available to ward off the elements. At the end of the day, let your Sidewinders rest in their robust, custom molded high-impact case.

The Vortex VIP warranty is unconditional and unlimited in scope—guaranteeing continued service long after delivery.
