Binocular advice for day sack

[cbrdave]

After some advice from you lovely chaps/chapesses,
I have about £100 spare to spend on a lightweight small pair of binos, I need them to fit in my 20litre day pack, they are for wildlife spotting,
I have a pair of Minolta 10/50 but they are too big and bulky,

Many thanks for you help.

Have a look at the Olympus DPSI range. I had a pair awhile ago and they were good for the money, i paid £40 but it may have of went up. They were nice and compact too.

The new issue green rubberized binos are great, you could try finding a pair on ebay?

I think you'll find the Barr and Stroud hard to beat in your budget. Sahara, or Sierra.

I have a pair of hawke compacts (nature trek possibly) and are very good for the size and price

Before you spend your budget, Lidl are selling Bresser 12x32 compact bino's for the silly price of £7.99; they sell on Amazon for thirty quid...worth a punt at eight quid.

Thank you for all your help, will take a look at the ones suggested, have been to lido today and spotted the blessed ones, wasn't sure on the brand or quality to be honest, but as said may be worth a punt.

I got a pair of the Lydl bino's last year, simply 'coz they was cheap'......Unless I am going out with full intentions of using binoculars then the Lydl ones are the pair I keep in my pocket (And they do fit in a pocket), I cannot fault them for the price.......I also wear glasses and though it may seem unimportant to someone that doesn't wear them anyone that does will appreciate the recommendation from another spectacle wearer.

Just bought a pair earlier today, well worth £8. although the 12x magnification does make looking through them a bit shaky.

Have a look at (or preferably through) a pair of these, superbly specced for the money, I have a pair as a back up to my main stalking bins.

This was the first link I found, shop around, and you should get them even cheaper.
