This is my first post here. I'm going on a vacation to Mongolia to check out the local wildlife, more specifically the ibex. I need a good set of Binoculars that will povide a clear, crisp sight picture with good eye relief. Since the terrain is steep a lighter pair of binoculars is a plus, but I do not want to sacrifice too much in eye relief and sight picture. So what is a good quality binocular that would be good for my trip. Thank you for your input.

Nikon 8x32 SE - no sacrifices!

No sacrifices indeed, but the Nikon 8x32 SE does sacrifice. It is not waterproof. I plan to use the binoculars on just about every outdoors vacation I take. I take a few a year and my gear is beat up and bashed, so it must be durable, the trips are several rugged days at a time. Fogged binoculars do not help to see animals in the early morning. Which brings up another good point, light gathering capabilities would be very good. Best time to spot an animal is right when the light is rising or setting. Thank you for the suggestion, just not quite right.
