Field Issue 8x32 Waterproof Binoculars

No-Matter-What Lifetime Warranty

No questions asked.

Refined performance for longer looks and longer days.

Built for those who want more time behind the glass, the Field Issue 32mm balances enhanced optical performance with Nocs’ legendary packability. Fully multi-coated lenses and premium prisms deliver brighter images and finer detail, while the wider field of view makes it easier to follow movement and stay immersed in the scene.

An oversized focus wheel allows for smooth, precise one-handed focusing, even with gloves on. With a rugged, no-slip housing and waterproof, fogproof construction, the Field Issue 32mm is made for all-day use in changing conditions—whether you’re birding, backpacking, or posted up glassing the horizon.

  • HiFi Fully multi-coated lenses deliver a bright, clear view with less glare and added durability—so what you’re looking at stays sharp, even after miles of use.
  • Premium BaK4 highest quality Porro prisms made from high-quality optical glass produce truer color and better clarity, especially in low light when details matter most.
  • Rugged, impact-absorbing housing feels solid and natural in hand, with added grip to protect your binoculars when they inevitably take a hit along the way.
  • Oversized Focus Wheel designed for ultra smooth, ultra precise focusing that makes super clear images easy ever time.
  • Waterproof (IPX7) means they’re built to handle storms, splashes, and full submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes—because weather rarely asks permission.
  • Fogproof construction with nitrogen-filled chambers prevents internal fogging as temperatures and conditions change.
  • Twist-up eyecups adjust easily for a comfortable fit, whether you’re wearing glasses or not.
  • No-Matter-What™ Lifetime Warranty backs every pair, so you can roam farther, use them harder, and worry less about the rest.
Field Issue 32mm vs. Standard Issue 25mm

What's the difference?

  • The Field Issue has a 32mm objective lens meaning that it will generally have a larger image or Field of View than the 25mm Standard Issue
  • The Standard Issue is smaller and lighter, only 11.85 oz compared to the 16.7 oz Field Issue
  • Both have BaK4 Prisms but the Field Issue does have slightly more advanced lens coating resulting in better a clearer image and better light transmission (we call it HiFi Fully Multi Coated Lenses)
  • The Field Issue features an Oversized Focus Wheel for ultra smooth and precise focusing

Bottom Line: We recommend the Field Issue for those looking for the best weight to performance ratio in their optics. Those mostly concerned with size and weight or first time buyers should opt for the Standard Issue

Field Issue 32mm vs. Pro Issue 42mm

What's the difference?

  • Both have BaK4 Prism however the Pro Issues Broadband Fully Multi Coated lenses and Phase Coated prisms allow for more light transfer with less scattering, producing a crisper image.
  • The Field Issue is smaller and lighter, only 16.7 oz compared to the 24 oz Pro Issue
  • The Pro Issue has a Ultra Wide Field of View: 429 ft field of view (8x @1000yds) compared to the Field Issue’s 387 ft (8x @1000yds)

Bottom Line: We recommend the Field Issue for those looking for the best weight to performance ratio in their optics. Those mostly concerned with a large Field of View should opt for the Pro Issue

Seek The Unseen

Nocs was born at the Citadel of Excitement, with a dream of juicing every last drop of our time outside. We kept wishing we had a set of nocs enough times where finally one day we bought some. And we used them every day. Checking the surf. Exploring backcountry lines. Watching our raccoon pals emerge at night. Seeing the world differently. On a closer level.
