Shipping & Returns

Full-size clarity, streamlined for the modern design.

The Field Issue 42mm brings full-size optical power into a lighter, more versatile form. Designed for those who demand brighter images, stronger low-light performance, and greater reach, these binoculars deliver crisp detail and a wide, immersive field of view without feeling bulky or overbuilt.

Waterproof, fogproof, and tripod-compatible, the Field Issue 42mm is ready for longer sessions and bigger landscapes—alpine ridgelines, open water, and wide-open terrain. It’s a confident step up in performance for birders and outdoor travelers who want more from every look.

  • HiFi Fully multi-coated lenses deliver a bright, clear view with less glare and added durability—so what you’re looking at stays sharp, even after miles of use.
  • Premium BaK4 highest quality roof prisms made from high-quality optical glass produce truer color and better clarity, especially in low light when details matter most.
  • Rugged, impact-absorbing housing feels solid and natural in hand, with added grip to protect your binoculars when they inevitably take a hit along the way.
  • 42mm objective lenses gives this binocular better low-light performance and provides a more immersive experience with a wider field of view than the Field Issue 32mm.
  • Waterproof (IPX7) means they’re built to handle storms, splashes, and full submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes—because weather rarely asks permission.
  • Fogproof construction with nitrogen-filled chambers prevents internal fogging as temperatures and conditions change.
  • Twist-up eyecups adjust easily for a comfortable fit, whether you’re wearing glasses or not.
  • Built in objective lens coverings provide ultimate protection from lens scratches no matter what you throw at them (or throw them off of).
  • No-Matter-What™ Lifetime Warranty backs every pair, so you can roam farther, use them harder, and worry less about the rest.

  • Lens Covers
  • Microfiber Bag
  • Lens Cloth
  • Basic Webbing Strap

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.
