RE: [Paddlewise] Waterproof Binoculars

After years of buying and using mediocre optics I finally decided to go out
and buy a good pair of Steiners. Once you've owned good optics, it's
impossible to go back to the medium grade Pentaxes and Nikons. Even my 13
and 12 year olds don't like em!

I have been very satisfied with my waterproof binoculars that I have from
Cabela's.  They have taken several real dunkings and have been on extended
wet
trips.  The good news is that they are inexpensive.  But they seem a little
heavy
and definitely don't float.  I have a pair of 10X24 (they also come in the
8X).
They also come with LER (long eye relief) so you can keep your sunglasses
on!
The optics are probably not as good as a Leica or Nikon but they cost about
$150.  cabela's # is 800-237-4444   web site is http://www.cabelas.com
