Pro Issue 8x42 Waterproof Binoculars
No-Matter-What Lifetime Warranty
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.
