Hi, I'm no expert and after weeks of eye strain searching these forums and looking through the limited stocked range here in NZ I'm still undecided about a good quality bin for hiking that I can afford to lose, break or get stolen by an Orc. I'm after some opinions of bins that:
I like the Travelite EX 9x25 but not sure if it's durable. Olympus Magellan WP specs look good but I'm sure there are other non alpha high performers out there for the price.
(I'll likely have to order from the states or UK so postage always adds about $US30-40 to the overall cost)
Any opinions much appreciated

- are $US250 or less
- about 350g (12 ounces) or less (I have Yosemite 8x30, excellent value but too big and heavy)
- waterproof
- have quality optics and an excellent image (might be impossible for the price)
- 8-10 x 25-28
