The Diamondback HD is a great example of Vortex’s commitment to pushing the price vs. performance envelope, delivering a rock-solid binocular that optically punches far beyond its class. The included GlassPak binocular harness keeps your glass close at hand, ready to deploy at a moment’s notice, all while providing protection and significantly more comfort than traditional neck straps.
