There are nice 8x42 waterproof, roof prism, birding binoculars in the $250 to $350 range, They're not as bulky as porro prism binoculars of the same objective size and they're rugged enough to take a few bumps.

I've had an Orion 8x42 Savanna roof prism binocular for several years. I keep it in the car most of the time. It's very handy, I can grab it and take it with me on a hike. It weighs around 25 oz.
