I bought these for a trip to Grand Canyon and was very happy with them. Not too heavy and better than the Nikon pair I had previously used.

They are Steiner's which are made in Germany. I bought them from Sierra Trading Post for just over $100 (they are now listed for $127.95 but you can always find discount coupons for STP). They are water and shock resistant.

If you want to spend less they have a pair listed at $99, also Steiner.
