Compact Binocular Recommendations
#1
Next month I want to buy a pair of compact binoculars under $ 200. In the summer, I fight forest fires and I would like to have a light pair to stash in my backpack and not worry too much. Durability is the main requirement. I was thinking about 8x32 or something from here. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks

I went with the Cabelas Intensity HD compact binos simply for the price and not having to worry about them. They have decent clarity and pack small. I chose the 8x25 over the 10x or 12x due to being better in low light. So far I'm happy with them. The dioptre adjustment wheel is a little small and somewhat awkwardly place, but I'm happy to say that I don't have to adjust it every time I pull them out of my pocket or case!

A monocular will be the lightest and compact that you can get.
