need help and suggestion for light weight binocular

Hello every one,
I am looking for a light weight binocular for my trip .I definitely want to keep the weight below 500 gram and price range upto 200$.
I am mostly looking into 8x25 - 8x32.
I want to use it mostly early part of day and evening . I would like to have reasonably wide, sharp and contrasty view, at least partial water resistance would be nice too.
I have seen five model but i am confused which one to select from it or to choose new one

1)pentax ucf xII 8x25.
2)pentax ucf wp 8x25.
3)olympus tracker 8x25.
4)nikon prostaff waterproof ATB 8x25.
5)nikon travelite V 8x25.

kindly help me,which would you advice me to look for?

Hi

You can't have it both ways. If you want something good in low light, a small binocular is not the best choice.

Of these, I would recommend the Pentax or the Prostaff to get the waterproof feature.

I'm looking for some advice on buying lightweight binoculars, with weight rather than size being the important feature as I suffer from a lot of pain in my right arm at times.

As always, that's just a matter of how much you want to pay. The Zeiss Victory 8x20 at only 8 oz is as good as it gets in a compact and a great choice. Plenty of other choices in an 8x20 or 8x25 - just check the specs for weight. Somethi9ng that is always listed.
