Nocs Highlights
No-Matter-What Lifetime Warranty
Phase Coated Prism
Designed for Max Grip And Protection
Waterproof + Fogproof
SUPREME RESOLUTION
Ultra Wide Field of View
A 429 foot field of view (8x @1000yds) that is distortion free across the field. This provides a new level of peripheral vision to a binocular in this class. It’s as if the binocular housing simply disappears from sight while in use.
EXCELLENT CONTRAST AND SHARPNESS
Phase Coated BaK4 Prism
Multilayer phase-correction coatings applied to the prism surfaces ensure accurate image contrast and avoid unwanted interference effects. While all our optics have fully multi coated lenses, the Pro Issue extends these coatings to the prisms in order to maximize brightness and clarity from edge to edge.
EXTREMELY BRIGHT AND COLOR CORRECT
Fully Multi Coated Lens Array
Every surface of every piece of glass inside has multiple coatings of broadband anti-reflective coating. This is key to providing a crisp and color correct image, no matter the time of day… or night.
IPX7 + SEALED
Waterproof + Fogproof
Submersible in up to three feet of water and nitrogen sealed to prevent internal condensation. There’s no reason to leave them at home - clean them off without worry.
EXCELLENT ADJUSTABILITY
Easy to Use
A refined feel in hand, with a smooth central focus knob, easy to dial in diopter adjustment, and a single hinge adjustment that fits all faces. Works for glasses wearers and those without using our multi step twist up eyecups.
SEE IT ALL
Tight Close Focus
With a close focus of less than 2M (6ft.), these binoculars fill the field with the closest details you see, whether a butterfly or a bee in a nearby tree. Not to mention, these are excellent for amateur astronomy, if you were wondering about that.
BUILT TO ROAM
Rugged Natural Grip
Designed to fit in your palm and to be held seamlessly without thought or worry. The ergonomic ribbed housing is designed to protect the product. Did we mention our no-fault No Matter What Lifetime Warranty?

Purchased for a future trip
These seem awesome. Although I have yet to use the product, other than opening the box and looking out the window with them, everything was crystal clear and we are looking forward to putting these to use next summer on a road trip from Texas to Alberta, Canada and back. ��

United StatesUpgrade from 10x25 worth it
I bought a Nocs monocular and pair of 10x25 binoculars a couple of years ago on a bit of a whim, and have used them intermittently. Recently, I have been doing more birdwatching and wanted to upgrade my binoculars. I did minimal research but most articles seemed to recommend 8x42 binoculars for birding. I purchased the 8x42 pro issue and they are incredible. Certainly can tell the difference in clarity, particularly in lower light.

United StatesA trifecta of benefits
I recently treated myself to a pair of Nocs Provisions binoculars (8x42) to replace my 40 year old binoculars (7x35). Wow, what a difference. The visual clarity to the edges of the lenses is spectacular. The extra light from the larger lenses is very pleasing to my eyes. Finally, the nitrogen pressurization will eliminate the problem of rain moisture entering the internals of the binoculars. A trifecta of benefits.
