I am a big fan of double hinged compacts.
My first were the old Leitz 10X25 Trinovids. Used them for years as my only pair of bins.
Then I moved on to the Leica Ultravid 8x20 and 10X25 when they came out. I take one of them now whenever I travel. They can be fiddly, but especially the 8x20 is a true wonder for its size. Tiny, and very useable. Excellent glass.
A few years ago, I acquired the Zeiss Terra 8X25. Also very good. So good and reasonably priced, I bought a pair each for my kids. They are my "knockabouts". Fast focusing and comfortable to use. Nice view. Also close focusing, as are the Leicas. The Terras did have a problem with floppy hinges. I sent mine in and they replaced them, no issues. The new ones work just fine.
While I was waiting quite awhile for the Zeiss to be resolved, which took months and months, because I liked the form factor of the 8X25s I acquired a pair of Swarovski 8X25 CLs. They are also excellent.
I also have thought about the Zeiss Victory 8X25s, which have gotten rave reviews. The Victories are single hinge, offset. But I like the double hinge design, the way it folds up. And my other ones are fine.
So here is what I would suggest. If you want them for travel, get the Ultravid 8X20s, but try them first, to see how you get on with them as far as adjustment for IPD and eye relief. I use them with glasses and have no problem.
If you want them for general use, look at the Swaros and the Terras. The Terras are much cheaper and have faster focus and closer focus, but there is something special about the Swaros. They are more precise in focus and their eye cups are absolutely the best of all the ones that I have had. The form factor of the 8X25s is easier handling than that of the smaller 8X20 Ultravids. Some people use them instead of the larger 8X30, 8X32 bins. I seriously thought about the Swaro 8X30 CL-B when it came out, but decided to stay with the 8X25s, as I could see times when I would take the 8x25s and not the 8X30s.
I have other full size binoculars, but except for high magnification, where I go with Canon IS, the compacts do just fine.
To be honest, for me, the best combination for all around use for me is an 8x compact and the full size 12x Canon IS. But that is when I can carry two. Not often. Then it goes to the compacts.
