Budget Bins for the jungle

Hello all,

I've just graduated and the university has taken my lovely swarofski 8x30's off me, well thiers technically but I've had them for 3 years.

I can't afford to replace them, but as I'm off working as a volunteer science officer for some conservation projects both marine and terrestrail-rainforest, I need lightweight small waterproof tough CHEAP binoculars for the job.

What can you guys recomend? I'm talking maybe $100 used.

Congratulations on the graduation
If you're prepared to look at secondhand and up the budget (OK, I know, I know) Opticron Travellers might not be a million miles away ergonomically from what you're used to :

Lcegroup have a 6x32 for under £150. The 8x42 Imagic roof there looks excellent choice too though a bit larger.
If these are still available, should be quite tough for cost :

Tough budget point you've set given the requirements and that you've probably been spoilt by that University binocular ||
