Think binoculars and most people conjure up images of crusty old seafarers, eccentric birders and reclusive peeping Toms, and while Nocs Provisions makes no prescriptions on the applications of its latest waterproof binoculars, it's clear that the Pro Issue binoculars are targeted towards the active, adventurous and smartphone-armed sect.
While the same is true of the California-based company's previous offerings, where the Pro Issue binoculars stand out becomes quickly evident upon first peer - a capacious field of view fast becomes apparent, with the 8x model delivering 429 feet of high-contrast, high-brightness views from a distance of 1,000 yards, while the 10x model offers a narrower field of view of 342 feet but magnification akin to a 500-mm lens. The crystalline image herein is the result of phase coated BaK4 roof prism lenses.
As has become the expectation with Nocs Provisions, these binoculars feel ruggedly reliable to touch, with the added bonuses of IPX7-rated waterproofing and a nitrogen sealed O-ring that enables fogproofing - a godsend when perched upon epic cliffs on dewy mornings looking out for whales, hawks, deer or whatever species happen to dwell in the environs you're exploring. What's more, these binoculars are seamlessly smartphone-compatible. All you have to do is line up your phone's camera with the Pro Issue and click your camera button, and the pro-grade binoculars do the rest.
Priced at only $295, the Nocs Provisions Pro Issue binoculars are a veritable steal considering their professional-grade performance, making them just as useful for budget-conscious conservation workers and search-and-rescue squads as they are for recreational hikers, birders and explorers.
