No questions asked.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?

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.

United StatesTop Nocs
Chris -- Great product. Great undertaking. I've been a classic Bushnell guy, but this binocular is fabulous. Happy to convert. All the best, 2384JST
United StatesDefinitely NOT ordinary!
I've searched for the perfect binoculars and it was worth it! I want STRENGTH and STYLE in a pair of binoculars and I found BOTH! Did I mention how great the texture ifor a secure grip? I am SO HAPPY with my purchase! Now, if I had one complaint, it would be color choices BUT they make up for it in BEAUTIFUL carrying straps with vibrant color patterns.
United StatesPurchased 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.
