Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these binoculars while wearing glasses? Yes! With 16mm of eye relief, the Vortex Vanquish 10x26 provides comfortable viewing for eyeglass wearers. The twist-up eyecups can be adjusted to ensure you get the full field of view while wearing your glasses.

Are these binoculars good for stargazing? While the Vanquish 10x26 can provide decent views of the moon and brighter celestial objects, their 26mm objective lenses limit light gathering capability for serious astronomy. For dedicated stargazing, consider binoculars with larger objective lenses (42mm+).

How does the rubber armor help? The diamond-patterned rubber armor serves multiple purposes: it provides a secure grip even in wet conditions, protects against impacts if dropped, and helps absorb shock during use in rough terrain.

How do I clean these binoculars? Use a lens cleaning kit with a microfiber cloth to gently remove dust and fingerprints. For stubborn smudges, use a small amount of lens cleaning solution. Avoid using regular tissues or clothing as they can scratch the lenses.

What makes these better than cheaper binoculars? The Vortex Vanquish offers superior optical clarity, fully multi-coated lenses for better light transmission, waterproof/fogproof construction, and comes backed by Vortex's legendary VIP warranty that covers any damage for life - regardless of cause.
