There are fairly inexpensive ones made by Brunton and sold under
housebrand names like EMS.  Run around $100 are totally waterproof and
8X20.  But you may be better off with cheaper waterproof 7X50 from West
Marine.  Several are available at under $200 or $150 and while weighing
more than the Brunton's can capture more light for low-light situations.
