Product Details

The Nocs Provisions Field Issue 8x42 Binoculars are built for people who want full-size viewing performance without carrying something that feels bulky or overbuilt. This is the step up for birders and outdoor travelers who need brighter images, better low-light performance, and more reach, whether they’re scanning alpine ridgelines, working open water, or settling in for a longer session behind the glass.

Nocs designed the Field Issue 8x42 to pack full-size optical power into a lighter, streamlined chassis, with a wide, immersive field of view and crisp detail from edge to edge. It’s waterproof, fogproof, tripod-compatible, and wrapped in impact-absorbing ToughWave™ Armor, so it’s made for real weather and real use. The built-in objective lens covers, twist-up eyecups, and compact-for-class build all make sense in the field—especially when the day starts before sunrise and doesn’t end until the light is nearly gone.

Why you'll love it

LOW-LIGHT VIEW

The 42mm objective lenses deliver brighter images and stronger low-light performance than the Field Issue 32mm. That makes this a better fit for early starts, late light, and longer glassing sessions.

WIDE FULL-SIZE OPTICS

This binocular combines 8x power with a wide, immersive field of view and crisp detail from edge to edge. It gives you full-size optical performance in a lighter, more streamlined form.

FIELD-READY BUILD

IPX7 waterproofing, nitrogen-filled fogproof construction, and ToughWave™ Armor are built for real conditions. Built-in objective lens covers and tripod compatibility add practical utility in the field.
