A
compact binocular makes a great stocking stuffer! In fact, a compact binocular, such as the
Zeiss Victory 8x20, is a great binocular, no matter where you stow it. I carry one in my purse on a regular basis and it often accompanies me on the bike trail. Remember, the idea with any compact is to have a binocular at hand. A binocular in the hand is worth more than a whole truck full of binoculars left at home. In fact, over the years, I have recorded more rare bird sightings with
compact binoculars than my full size binoculars simply because I had a compact binocular when a rare bird made an unexpected appearance.
