Anyone who is passionate about the great outdoors can attest to the fact that when you hit the trail packing light is a must. The realization that bigger is not always better hit me on my first backpacking trip at about the 5 mile mark when my back and legs began to ache from my overstuffed backpack. Since then I have slowly replaced most of my gear with light weight alternatives. Most recently I purchased a set of Galileo 8×22 Mini-Compact Binoculars. These lightweight and compact little binoculars have all the features of my much more expensive bulky binoculars. Investing in new lightweight equipment has been like feeding diet pills to my backpack. I am no longer using up all my strength lugging 15 pounds of extra weight around. These are a few details about these great little binoculars:
