Can't go wrong with zeiss - Zeiss Terra ED Pocket 10x25mm Schmidt-Pechan Binoculars

I got these to carry in my EDC bag and they work great, the clarity and brightness were everything you'd expect from Zeiss. There a bit larger than I hoped, but the next option from Zeiss cost twice as much and I didn't want to spend that much. These binoculars work great when your out hiking and you need to scope things out. I would recumbent them for general use but not if your hunting and need a wider field of view.
