If you are interested in small, lightweight binoculars, let’s take a look at the features that will help you choose. You can’t go wrong with the Triumph 10 x 25 from Eagle Optics. 
Wearing glasses isn’t a problem with these small binoculars either. The eye relief is 18 mm so there is plenty of room for those who use glasses to see the entire field of view.
When you want to see something up close, you can focus as close as 8.2 feet away. Many small binoculars will not be able to match that close focus. If you want to view butterflies, you can get within ten feet and be able to view them as if you’re holding them in your hand! On the opposite end of the spectrum the field of view at 1000 yards is 262 feet.
Although it’s not waterproof the Triumph Porro is a great little field binocular. The outer covering is a brushed metallic surface, so it’s not shiny or slippery.
So, how many features are there? Magnification, objective lens diameter, weight, eye relief, close focus, and field of view are important to compare when you’re looking at the specs of several binoculars. By looking at the numbers you’ll see that many of these parameters vary between brands and sizes of binoculars. That’s why it’s best to pick up a pair and look through them before you make your decision. Visit a camera shop or outdoors shop near you and ask to see the binoculars. Compare the feel and the view of several models to help you choose the best compact binoculars for you.
– has a close focus of 8 feet, which is really good for viewing butterflies, bugs and other objects up close. These 8×21s are also pretty inexpensive at $50, but the eye relief is only 8 mm. Not good enough for eyeglass-wearers. Darn, I like that dayglow color.
– made by Nikon which have a close focus of 9.8 feet (pretty good!) and an eye relief of 14 mm. Although these binoculars are more expensive than the Eagle Optics pair, the extra cost is probably worth it for the eyeglass wearer. The Travelites are still under $100!
