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. ralph Courtney wrote: > > I'm interested in getting good quality water-proof/resistant binoculars.
