Is this for terrestrial or astro use?
Either way, I like to backpack with my Garrett Gemini 11x56.
Gemini 11x56
They aren't water/fog proof, so if it rains they stay in their ziploc bag, but if it rains I'm not likely to be star gazing either. But they also aren't that expensive (relative to their fancier rivals), they are very light weight for their size, they have what for me is about all the magnification I care to hand hold and the views are nice.
In fact I took mine along two weeks ago into the Sierras but sadly the sky was filled with so much NorCal smoke that all I could see was a reddish version of Vega. Yuck.
