Celestron Mini 8x21 Binoculars
I just bought four pair of some nifty Celestron 8x21s that Anacortes is selling for an incredible $12 each! They are compact and very light weight. The eye relief is great, and while they ain't Swarovskis, they do the job just fine. And best of all, I don't worry about losing them or getting them scratched. My advice is to buy a bunch and keep them in every car, backpack, etc.

I did just what Paul Saffo suggested. I got me a couple of these. They are small mini-binocs about 6 inches square -- the size of your palm. They are as sharp as my other mid-price pairs, but much handier. I really like them. And for $12 (as long as the bargain runs*) they are unbeatable.

KK: the link isn't working. I went to the site and could only find the Celestron "Up Close" 8x21 for a similar price....... http://www.sh0rten.com/1wg0puaopft/

A couple of observations. First, the links above both lead to the same model but they both look much different from the picture above. Second, the price is now $17.90 (You Save $-2.95) at the links given. Love that negative savings. ;-) Try getting them directly from Celestron for $12.95:

These are some of the nicest mini-binoculars I've used. The price is right - currently $16.99 from Celestron. They are very light weight, extremely compact, with decent optics. I recommend them for the trail since they are so light.
