I'm planning a trip to Namibia and really don't want to lug along my Nikon Monarchs. Anybody have a favorite pick for affordable pocket binocs of say, 6 power, that work OK with glasses wearers?

I have a Leica 10x25 and they are great. But I would go with the 8 power if I were to buy again. As a matter of fact I'll sell these and get a different set. The 10 power is great in the open areas but I also got them for bowhunting and the field of view is too small for deep woods use. That is the only reason I will change. Several of my friends have used them and imediately purchased the same due to the high optical quality.

I have Nikon Travelite IV 9x25 that fit in my pocket when hunting for the past couple years. They couldn't be any better for me. They fold up to 3.6" wide and fit in a shirt pocket, barely. But when hunting, they are usually in a jacket pocket. At 9 ounces, they are under the radar of me feeling that I am carrying something, barely. I carry them in my car for reading street signs and bumper stickers. My niece says I look like a stalker

Now they call them Travelite V:
