Don't know that you'll find a whole lot of options based on your requirements. However, here are a few suggestions that might fit your needs.
Pentax makes a 10x50 PCFV series that goes for about $185. They are rubber, but not certain on the waterproof part.
Burris has a Landmark model 10x42 that gots for around $170. Again, rubber, but not certain on the waerproof part.
Another option would be to buy something used or a factory closeout. A good source for that would be to check out http://www.samplelist.com/ I just looked and they had a couple Leopold binoculars in the 10x40/8x42 for under $200. I have purchased 2 scopes from them in the past and am more than happy with them.
Good Luck

La Migra,
Welcome to TFL & just a coupla ?s & observations.
Why the "10x42 or 10x50" binos? Any specific reasons behind these exact power & objective diameters?
10Xs may be a touch on the high side to hold steady comfortably for general field use. 7-8s seem to be the "better" magnifications for this & do provide for pretty good viewing.
Too, the 42-50 will gather quite a bit of light for dawn/dusk viewing (as opposed to a 35 say) but, again, why specifically these objectives?
More curious than anything.
