Two pounds?? My 9x25s are 10oz. and the zooms are 11 including straps.
What are you looking at? If you don't mind giving up aperture, you could shave an ounce or two, or...plastic optics.
Pentax, Olympia, Nikon, Orion all have small travel binocs in both porro and roof prism designs.

Lots of choices here and I've had great luck with this company over the years.
