I know I am trying to be cheap but is there a good waterproof, fully coated, lightweight, and 8x around 32 out there?
Check the B&H website for a great selection of binoculars. If you want good bins you will have to spend a bit more.

If you want a roof prism bin, then you are probably out of luck, though the Nikon 8x36 Sporter (water resistant) has its fans. Cheaper roofs are not phase coated and the image tends to be a little soft. Nikon usually have good coatings even in cheap instruments.
If you want a porro prism bin, then many are okay at that price. Why 8x32? Why not 8x42? Nikon 8x42 Action is good value. It has its faults but is sharp and contrasty. Swift Audubon 8.5x44?
The William Optics 8x42 APO is good value, waterproof, small and light, and worth a look. However, only one has thus far been reviewed (by me) and I think you would want to either examine it in person, or wait for more reviews. Burgess Optical appear to do the same item. I believe it is Chinese made.
