Whether you’re a seasoned birder or just someone who likes to wander with intention, this collection turns everyday exploration into something a little more artful.
Inspired by the Great Cormorant — a North Atlantic seabird at home on rugged cliffs from Maine to Greenland — the housing features hand-painted speckles pulled from the bird's eggs and feathering. The Field Issue 10x42 binoculars are the most compact full-size binoculars Nocs has ever built. Includes a custom strap inspired by the Great Cormorant and its habitat. Part of the exclusive Nocs x Audubon collection — protecting birds and the places they need.
Featuring an oversized focus wheel and compact dimensions, the Field Issue 42mm binoculars are designed to promote the highest quality glassing experience without compromising Nocs' legendary packability. The rugged no-slip grip keeps these binos protected and comfortable in-hand no matter what you (or Mother Nature) throw at them. Built to roam with confidence, the Field Issue is waterproof with a IPX7 rating and fogproof with nitrogen-filled internal chambers, so you never miss a moment of magic.
