These seem to get marketed mainly to outdoorsy activities, so that's what I'd say their intended use is.

I researched these earlier this year before buying the Viper HD model with Glasspak from Focus Camera via eBay, who is an authorized dealer, and have been very happy with them:

This review of the Cabela's/Bass Pro model articulates it best:
"These are not as good as the newer post 2018 Viper HD sold in most authorized Vortex retailers. These are a special edition Viper HD set of binoculars only sold at Bass Pro Shops/Cabella's and are made with inferior components to both the newer Viper HD and the old pre 2018 model made in Japan. These are made in Phillipines and have a lower image quality than both the Japan made pre 2018 model and the newer post 2018 model sold at retail for around $500. I should have known better and realised these $299 Bass Pro Shop exclusive pair were inferior, you get what you pay for in life and this is a prime example. These are in my opinion worse image quality to the Diamnondback HD 10×42 which my wife owns. I have also purchased the newer Viper HD and can tell you for 100% certainty the glass optics are not as good on these exclusive set. There is more chromatic aberration, the colors are muted and not as vivid, and the edges of the image are not as Clear. It is almost like they took the original pre 2018 Viper HDs that were made in Japan and cheapened them out even more using worse components. I have a friend with the old Viper HD (pre 2018 made in Japan) and they have a much better image quality. Stay away from these and go with the newer HD if you are looking for quality. If you are shopping by price point just buy the Diamondback HD they are equal or better quality than these."
The version you linked was the older version from a few years back and is not labeled HD.
