I totally agree that you need to spend a few $$$ to get decent binoculars. The first set of cheep ones caused plenty of headaches/eye strain. I ended up with the Nikon Windjammer 7x50 about 10 years ago. Although large, the optics provide fantastic low light use along with excelent clarity. I think they were considered only splash proof but mine have endured quite a few dunkings including one time of being underwater for at least 10 or more minutes with out the slightest hint of fog. Note that despite that abuse, I have always taken care to avoid any contact with sand. Unfortunately I have not seen that model for sale recently although there might have just been a name change. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
