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
Uncompromising optics for those who see it all.
The Pro Issue is Nocs’ no-compromise binocular, built for unparalleled, pro-level performance. Featuring ultra-premium glass and an exceptionally wide field of view, these binoculars deliver stunning clarity, truer color, and sharp, distortion-free images from edge to edge—even in challenging light.
Wrapped in a rugged, no-slip housing and fully waterproof and fogproof, the Pro Issue is designed for serious glassing in serious conditions. For birders, guides, and explorers who prioritize image quality above all else, this is the closest thing we know to having hawk eyes.
FEATURES
- Broadband Fully Multi-Coated lenses deliver super bright, clear view with less glare and added durability—so what you’re looking at stays sharp, even after miles of use.
- Ultra Premium Phase Coated BaK4 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.
- Super Wide Field of View of 429 ft @ 1000 yds (10x: 342 ft @ 1000 yds) that is distortion free and clear edge-to-edge imagery for great long distance viewing.
- 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.
- No-Matter-What™ Lifetime Warranty backs every pair, so you can roam farther, use them harder, and worry less about the rest.
HIGHLIGHTS
 |
 |
| 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? |
