The 8x32 you are using for more everyday use, during the daylight and in good (or at least non-cloudy) weather. But you can't, I would bet, slip that 8x32 into your pants or shorts pocket to carry everyday and everywhere, no exceptions and no excuses.  An 8x20 will do this.Notice that I did say that the 30mm class of binocular was useless as a compact. It is the 26-28mm binoculars that I consider to be just generally useless alltogether.</blockquote>
