As a person on a budget, not just dollars, but conserving weight and space as
well, I have been really happy with my 10x25 wideangle Cabella's.  Two fat
fishing floats keep them from disappearing into the deep and I can remove the
floats when I'm not on the water.  I use these glasses climbing, mountain
biking, hiking, and birding.  I almost lost them this summer though.  My mom,
who is an avid birder, likes them a lot!

FWIW, if I had a pair of $800 binocs, they'd probably stay home because I
couldn't bring myself to abuse them like I do the $115 Cabella's.  Can you
imagine an accidental slam by a #4 cam?

Just my .02, I'll go back to lurking...
