32 vs 42

[Yukondog]

I feel like I'm decided on the 8x glass. Now, 32 or 42? What are the differences and how would they affect me on the mountain?

The differences are weight and exit pupil. The 8X32s are lighter, while the 8x42s will be brighter in low light due to exit pupil advantage.

Differences in resolution, contrast, and other optical areas will be negligible in Swarovision models.
