Nocs x Audubon is a limited-edition collaboration bringing modern optics and conservation heritage together to inspire a new generation of birders. Designed with bird-inspired colorways and built to support real habitat protection, this collection turns everyday looking into meaningful impact — helping more people get outside, pay attention, and protect what they love.
The partnership is built around a shared belief in conservation through birding, the idea that creating meaningful, accessible connections with nature fosters deeper awareness, stewardship, and protection of the landscapes we all depend on. By pairing Nocs’ modern, creative approach to outdoor optics with the National Audubon Society’s trusted legacy in conservation, the collaboration aims to bring more people outside, looking up, experiencing nature, and getting involved in efforts to protect the natural world.
DESCRIPTION
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.
FEATURES
- 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 prism 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).
