Review by David Mcvittie
I would say they are not worth the money
Review by Trevor
Payment and delivery went like a breeze. These are my first binos so nothing to compare them to but very happy. Look crystal clear and sharp to me. Slight colour fringing on certain objects. Enough for me to notice but not enough to bother me. Having researched many binos before buying these I knew what to expect. All in all I am very happy with the Diamonbacks and Utters.
Review by Nasif Uddin
Asked a few friends which binos to go for most of them recommended this product. Excellent hd quality at an affordable price. Really like the harness and case cant wait to use it for my next stalking expedition
Review by Andrew Wood
I dont believe these Vortex binoculars can be beaten but anything else in their price range. I was shown a pair whilst completing my DSC1 and immediately bought a pair. Great value for money especially with the included harness.
Review by P Pountain

Lightweight for a 8x42 binocular and well balanced. Sturdy construction and appear well made. Lifetime guarantee should give confidence. Optics = Sharp image and good contrast. Let down by significant Chromatic Aberration. Can't recommend if (as I am) you are sensitive to colour fringing.
Review by Martin
Totally surprised how good these are.
Review by Mr M H
These binoculars are superb value for money and they really do have a viewing clarity that has to be seen. Not to forget the lifetime warranty.
Review by Colette
Did plenty to research for Binoculars for nature and bird watching and not disappointed. Super clear and easy to adjust nice and light and can use one hand to hold up without any shake. The case is super useful and high quality. Definitely worth the money and highly recommend.

Quality item at a reasonable price
Review by P A Mcguire
Topped all online reviews for low light hunting binoculars in this price bracket and even considerably more expensive binoculars. Dielectric and fully multi coated lenses and prisms matched to a lifetime guarantee superb image smaller than porro prism equivalent. Very happy with the purchase.
Review by Lisa Bratby
Fabulous price for some excellent quality binoculars
Review by Ian Hodson
Compact Binoculars with excellent optics that are not heavy and cumbersome. Definitely punch above their weight!
Review by Robert
Really good binoculars for the price range.
Review by Jay
I purchased these as a gift for my sons 18th birthday. I looked at binoculars and their associated reviews on Amazon (these werent available there) prices ranged from £40 all the way up to a few hundred but I didnt want to make a mistake with going too cheap. Ultimately I asked my brother for a recommendation as he has spent 20 years in the African bush working as a guide. Diamondback was his only reply hes used these for years and wont bother looking anywhere else. And now neither will I...Not only is the optic quality and build exceptional but all Vortex products come with a lifetime warranty. The warranty doesnt just cover the usual wear and tear type damage but incredibly covers ALL damage even accidental. That fact alone makes the £250 price tag well worth the price. If youre looking for great build quality and optics to match definitely head to Vortex and browse their range.

Great product and quality
Review by Anonymous Adult
Spent a bit of time researching and took the plunge with these. Should have bought them ages ago. Brilliant piece of kit.
Review by Chris Hillyer
Really good set of binoculars. Very high standard and excellent price. The harness that goes with the binoculars is a bit fiddly and guidelines could be better. Otherwise great.
