Time for a white russian?B

:-O I'd prefer a good sarsparilla. Don't want to end up micturating on the carpet.

I regularly use a pair of Minox BV II 8x25 roof binos that are well-constructed, light and easy to carry on hikes. I really like them. About $150.

I like Minox kit. Are the BV 8x25 waterproof?

I would certainly recommend the Nikon Pro Staff 8x25, Leupold Yosemite 6x30 and 8x30, Celestron Nature 8x30 and Nikon 7x35 Action EX. All are very good optically and well within your price range.

Either of the Nikons would work nicely, I think. Definitely no roofs in that price range.

Sancho:

Yes, the Minox BV models are waterproof. Close focus is 5 feet.
