I bought the Zeiss but quickly returned them as I disliked the color distortion. If you want a lighter and more compact binocular I highly recommend the Swarovski 8x25 and 10x25 Pocket Mountain binoculars that me wife and I use. These inside their case fit in a jacket pocket or a water bottle sleeve in a fanny pack and their carry case has a Velcro secured way to quickly attach it to a belt. My wife uses the 8x25 and I use the 10x25 and they are the most often used away from the house.
I do not buy binos with 20mm objectives. Those with 25mm objectives are not that much larger and still very compact and provide up to 56% more light transmission than ones with 20mm objectives.
When carrying a scope or a camera and lens the Swarovski 10x25 binos that weigh 12.4 ounces are hung from my neck when not being used. I find this works very well and I sacrifice little compared to using my larger binoculars.
