Zero Tube 8X25 Monocular

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I started clipping the Zero Tube 8X25 Monocular to my pack strap on every trip after my first time using it in the backcountry. The ED glass and fully multi-coated lenses punch well above what you'd expect from something this small, and the rugged housing has survived more drops and scrambles than I'd like to admit."

Some optics feel like a commitment to carry. The Zero Tube 8X25 Monocular from Nocs Provisions is the opposite of that. At 110mm long and just over seven ounces, it clips to a pack strap, drops into a jacket pocket, or rides on a belt without asking you to think twice about it. That kind of packability matters most when you are already carrying everything you need for a big day out, and the last thing you want is another decision.

What sets the Zero Tube apart from other compact monoculars is that the optics didn't get sacrificed for the size. Fully broadband multi-coated lenses and phase-coated BaK4 prisms with ED glass work together to cut light scatter and deliver a bright, crisp image with accurate color across the frame. The IPX7 waterproof rating and nitrogen-filled fogproof chambers mean you can pull it out in a downpour or at a cold alpine lake, and the view stays clear. The rugged impact-absorbing housing adds grip and confidence in hand, and the twist-up eyecup adjusts for a comfortable fit whether you wear glasses or not. This is the monocular you forget you have until you need it, and then you reach for it every single time.
