My buddy loves my new Leupold Yosemites ($95) but he wants something even more compact. What do you recommend for under $130?

Small binoculars for under $130?

Are the Yosemites 32mm? I wouldn't want to go any smaller than that due to shrinking exit pupil. The Yos are a screaming bargain, especially the 6x. I know I avoided the question, but if one has a hard time carrying a 32mm bin the offerings below that size really start to suffer and if not really worth it if one is using them at dusk or dawn.

I bought some Hummer brand binocs at Big 5 last year to throw in my BOB...they are cheap, the fold up small, and they have decent vision when using them.
Look at some Nikon Travelites. I've had a pair of 9x25 for going on 20 years. They don't quite fit in a shirt pocket, but they're only 9 or 10 ounces and should run $100 or so. They used to come in 10x, 9x, 8x and 7x23 iirc. Maybe a 12x years ago.
Great color, no eyestrain. I've used them duck hunting and they didn't leak in the rain and sleet and snow, etc. They aren't waterproof either.
