The older hikers on here will appreciate this. I carry reading glasses and the older I get the more I need em. Looking at my watch isn't an issue.......yet. But, trying to read the guide book pages, map, GPS, text messages on the phone, etc., have me constantly pulling out my readers. I saw a gentleman with a small (2-3") magnifier attached to his pack. I wanted to ask him about it but didn't get around to it. It seems like this would be a quick way to read something on the fly without having to constantly fish for the readers. I would still pull out the readers for longer periods of need. This is just for a quick look.
Something like the following caught my eye. The mini light might come in handy too: http://www.seeitbigger.com/Carson_Li..._p/c-lk-30.htm

Before pulling the trigger, I wanted to know if anyone else has a better suggestion.
