Two of the best-selling Vortex Optics binoculars are the DIAMONDBACK HD 10X42 and the CROSSFIRE 8X42. They share many similarities, but they are also different in many ways.
For starters, the DIAMONDBACK are more expensive than the CROSSFIRE. The former has better edge-to-edge clarity, while the latter has a broader field of view.
Both models are waterproof and fogproof, but the DIAMONDBACK are more rugged because of ArmorTek. This proprietary coating technology makes the binoculars scratch-resistant.
