They also have a lifetime guarantee on there optics and offer top of the line optics at the best price. **Q: What is the difference between the diamondback hd in the cross fire hd?** A: The Diamondback weighs 21.8 Oz, is rubber armored and focuses down to 5 Ft. The Crossfire weighs 23.2 Oz. and focuses down to 6 ft. I have used both and can't tell the difference in quality or clarity. I have had several "Rubber" armored optics that eventually get sticky and unpleasant to use. The only fix is to paint them. No way to clean the rubber back to normal. As far as I am concerned the Crossfire binocular is first class at a very reasonable price. **Q: Harness included?** A: This now includes the Glasspak bino harness. **Q: What is the eye relief in mm's?** A: The website says 17mm for the 8x42’s ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Bino! *by on Reviewed in the United States July 16, 2026* outstanding clarity in optics and lighting; well machined and built and easy to focus; Great buy for the money especially since the optics are on a par with my Swarvoskis ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ May be the only pair of binoculars you'll ever need... *by on Reviewed in the United States November 14, 2025* This review is for the Vortex Crossfire HD Roof Prism 10x42 Binoculars.I own several pair of binoculars for a variety of reasons. From sports, birdwatching, hiking and stargazing the 10x42 Crossfire HD binoculars are amazing. The field of view is suitable for any occasion and their lightweight and ergonomic styling make long viewing sessions easy and manageable. The binoculars come with provisions to use with a tripod, a tripod adaptor is required. I recommend an adaptor designed specifically for roof prism binoculars. This will allow a full range of motion while adjusting your IPD settings. The Crossfire binoculars come with a very nice storage bag and has both a padded neck strap and a "glasspak" The glasspak allows you to carry the binoculars securely around your chest area for fast access when hunting or hiking. The neck strap is nice when you're just casually moving around and do not mind a little bit of swing from the binoculars. Both the neck strap and glasspak are comfortable and function well for their intended purpose. These binoculars have become one of my favorites for stargazing, while I'm waiting for that clear shot of a planet, or some other celestial event. I pull the Crossfires out and watch the clouds drift by the moon or satellites zipping across the skies, all with crystal clear image clarity. You can pay a lot more money and get a lot less binocular, these Vortex HD Crossfires are worth every penny. For their versatility, build quality, adaptability and very reasonable price point, I give these binoculars 5 out of 5 stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crossfires are nicer than you think. *by on Reviewed in the United States May 18, 2026* I'm just a crossfire kind of guy I guess, this is my second pair and luckily for me I haven't gone up to diamondback or viper levels, so there's nothing to miss out on so to speak. Vortex rifle scopes are what got me into vortex. Two sets of binoculars later and I don't think I'll jump ship.If you're shopping for your first pair, that first number is how many times you're magnifying what you're trying to look at. The second number is the size of your aperture or objective lens. The big side.This pair is 10 x 42 (10 power seems best all around) I've had another Vortex pair for about six years, 12 x 50 and they're just incredible, sometimes too much zoom. If you get up to 15 power or above for spotting scopes and stuff like that just know that you're probably gonna need a tripod because of the zoom stability.Anyway I feel they're extremely well-made and you can't beat the warranty. Clear vision and the only thing I can really see getting to those next levels that you're going to notice is maybe some more clarity around the edges, detents for the eyecup adjustments, the finish, things like that. I really want to splurge for the middle of the road diamondback or the higher end viper but I just can't bring myself to do it because the crossfires works so well for me. They feel like quality and I really appreciate all the rubberized coating all over everything. They provide backpack straps if you want to carry your whole case around with you instead of just your binoculars. I've never used that stuff but it's nice to have for some people so I figured I'd mention it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vortex Optics Crossfire HD 10x42 Binoculars - HD Optical System, Tripod Adaptable, Rubber Armor, Waterproof, Fogproof, Shockproof, Included GlassPak - Unlimited, Unconditional Warranty - Occer 12x25 Compact Binoculars for Adults and Kids, Large Eyepiece Waterproof Binocular with Low Light Vision,High Powered Easy Focus Binoculars for Bird Watching,Outdoor Hunting,Travel,Sightseeing - North American Bird Watching for Beginners: Field Notes on 150 Species to Start Your Birding Adventures (Bird Watching Adventures) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/145287734-vortex-crossfire-hd-10x42-binoculars](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/145287734-vortex-crossfire-hd-10x42-binoculars) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-17*
