Field Issue 32mm vs. Standard Issue 25mm

We consider the Field Issue our most well rounded binoculars. All of our binoculars have a Rugged Impact Absorbing Housing designed to feel great in-hand while providing protection and are waterproof (IPX7) and fogproof (nitrogen purged)

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

We consider the Field Issue our most well rounded binoculars. All of our binoculars have a Rugged Impact Absorbing Housing designed to feel great in-hand while providing protection and are waterproof (IPX7) and fogproof (nitrogen purged).

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.

Halfway through a multi week multiple National Parks tour I tried these out at the Grand Tetons park store. WOW what I had been missing! Salesman let us take all three outside and view the mountains and select the best version. We chose field issue 10x32 for the size and incredible clarity. How I wish we had these for the first half of our trip. Highly recommend! Thanks Nocs!

For anyone wondering if these are as solid as they claim....

They ARE! I bought a pair this spring to watch the birds around my area. I was outside the day after I bought them, with my Merlin app, spotting anything I heard sing. Great quality, easy to adjust, beautiful clear lens. I had a chair sitting next to my car and was relaxing and listening to the birds, and searching for them with my beautiful brand new NOCS. It began to rain and I put my NOCS on the top of the tire while I folded the chair and put it away, then happily went inside with the phone, forgetting the NOCS on the tire. Yes, I have ADHD... Next morning, got up for work, reversed the car and felt a bump. Got out to investigate, and found my brand new NOCS on the ground having just been run over by my rather large hybrid SUV! Minor scratches on the outside coating of the body. Optics intact and still wonderful! Thank you NOCS - I don't think my old binoculars would have survived an attack by a Santa Fe! I am also a paddler, so no doubt I will soon be able to review the waterproofing!

Excited

I have only had a couple opportunities to use these, a I intend to use them for my daughters Mtn bike races this summer. So far I LOVE the clarity and lightness of the NOCS. I’m excited to use them later this month while visiting Lake Superior watching boats and birds. My one suggestion is that you create a more protective case option for purchase.

This is the 2nd of Nocs i own. Im part owner of a group tour business & i spend 8-10 weeks a year in the bush doing safaris. The Field Issue 8x32 privide crisp clear views & are light weight enough to put in a carryon. The bright fun colors makes it easu to distiguish. Our guests fight over who gets to borrow these binoculars.
