Field Issue 8x42 Binocular

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Nocs Provisions Field Issue 8x42 Binocular has become the pair I reach for on any outing where I know the terrain is going to be open and the subjects are going to be far. The 8x magnification hits a sweet spot that gives you genuine reach without sacrificing the stable, wide field of view that makes tracking moving wildlife actually manageable. I took them out at dusk on a recent trip and the low-light performance through those 42mm lenses was well beyond what I expected from a binocular this compact and this reasonably priced."

Eight times magnification and 42mm of light-gathering glass is a combination that covers an enormous range of outdoor use cases, and the Nocs Provisions Field Issue 8x42 Binocular delivers both in a package compact enough to stop feeling like a decision to bring. Alpine ridgelines, open water, wide grasslands, and dense forest edges all reward a binocular with genuine reach, and the 8x42 configuration is the one that experienced birders and wildlife watchers return to most consistently for exactly that reason.

The BaK4 roof prisms and fully multi-coated HiFi lenses pull in brightness and color accuracy that hold up as the light fades, which is precisely when the 42mm objective lenses earn their keep over smaller alternatives. ToughWave Armor housing handles the impacts that field use inevitably produces, O-ring seals and nitrogen purging keep the optics functional through rain, submersion, and rapid temperature changes, and twist-up eyecups adjust for a comfortable fit with or without glasses. Built-in objective lens covers protect the glass between glassing sessions, tripod compatibility extends the platform to longer stationary observation, and the No-Matter-What Lifetime Warranty removes the last remaining reason to leave them behind. Point them at the tree line just before dark and the 8x42 configuration will show you exactly why it became the standard that serious optics users keep coming back to.
