Anyone own waterproof binoculars they really like?
I am seeking a pair at least a 10x zoom.

One thing you should consider is that high powered binoculars are very
difficult to use from a moving platform. You can't hold them steady
enough to get a clear image. Overall, optics in the 6x-7x range are
brighter and more useful on the water.

Rather than binoculars, take a look at monoculars. For a given price,
you get better optics, lighter weight and a smaller package. They're
designed for one hand use, which can be important in a kayak. Brunton
makes a good 6x monocular that's waterproof, rubber armored and has
excellent optics.
