I can’t recommend them yet because I don’t have them yet but I'm going with a pair of Eagle Optics brand from www.eagleoptics.com.

They are the "Denali" series, 9x32 for about $140.00.

Things I liked about them.
1. Compact in size
2. Fully multi-coated lenses
3. Twist-up eye cups rather than pull-up eye cups.
4. Nitrogen Purged
5. Waterproof
6. Tethered objective lens covers
7. Rain guard eye cup covers

I don't personally know anyone using them but I called around, St. Louis area, to all of the local "bird watching" shops that sell the Eagle Optics brand and they have all claimed the Denali's are their hottest selling model, quality and affordable. Not 1 of 4 stores had them in stock, on back order, so I'm ordering straight from Eagle Optics.
