Mike,

If you:

1) Would rather spend $300+ on something else (or don't have it), and
2) Don't want much weight around your neck,

Check out Fujinon's 7 x 50 w/ float strap. While these may use plastic
lenses, they work great (light gathering, ability to hold an image while the
kayak is moving, and internal compass). I got mine at Westmarine for just
under $200. 

If you've got the bucks for the best of everything, disregard the above...
FYI: I paddle a plastic boat so I can afford a Gore-Tex dry suit even though
I'd prefer a graphite/kevlar boat.

Eric

I would like to hear opinions on waterproof binoculars in the 8X24 size
range and would prefer them also to float.
