several years ago i bought a compact bushnell.

years later when we visited costa rica we forgot to bring them along. so i bought the only pair of bushnell's that i could find in the small town we were in. realized when we returned home they were the same model as what we had forgotten to bring. and in costa rice you really need them to see more of the wildlife - esp the birds, butterflies and monkeys.

these are them:

H20® 8x25 Waterproof/Fogproof FRP Compact

small, compact, rubber-coated, sealed, in your price range. they've worked for me for years.
