Wife and I are going on an Alaskan cruise in May and going to need some binoculars. Problem is I know absolutely nothing about what to look for in binoculars. Nothing I tell you! Hoping y'all can help a brother out.
This is our first time on a cruise and Alaska, so I have no idea how far away we might need to see something. I do know we want something light and easy to carry and pack. Also don't want to spend a fortune since we obviously dont use them.
I looked at binoculars in Cabelas the past weekend and the price range is $20 - $2000 and ranged in size from hip pocket to need a trailer to carry them. They have specs that mean nothing to me. Might as well be Egytpian hieroglyphics.
Can someone guide me to what I should be looking for? And any other advice on what we should take?
Thanks in advance!
