Manufacturer's claims (from Nocs Provisions)Show
- COMPACT LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN: The Standard Issue binoculars are lightweight, compact, pocketable binoculars (weight: 11.85oz.) featuring anti-reflective Fully Multi Coated optics, a central focusing system, and Swiss-designed Bak4p prism for a bright field of view wherever you go. Scratch-proof, fog-proof, and fully waterproof, these rugged binoculars are designed to go anywhere to provide bright crisp views for birdwatching, stargazing, hiking, camping, wildlife viewing, and traveling.
- FULLY-MULTI COATED OPTICS: Supreme clarity from unique lens coating formula; each piece layered in anti-reflective coating with a low refractory index with each surface coated with multiple layers, for a crisp, bright image, and supreme color clarity to the edge of the field of view (357ft @ 1000yds). Designed to accommodate smartphone photography and videography, simply just line up your smartphone to snap a picture, capture the moment, and share.
- WATERPROOF + FOGPROOF: Rated IPX7, meaning the binoculars can take a smattering of dust, humidity, and water (submersible in up to three feet of water for 30 min.) without ever compromising on performance. Medical grade O-ring assembly, and injected with inert nitrogen gas, to prevent fogging and internal condensation for bright, crisp views anytime, anywhere.
- FEATURES: Multi-stop twist up eyecup mechanism provides three distinct positions to optimize the viewing experience, ideal for eyeglass wearers and the naked eye. Patented ergonomic Rugged Wave Grip design ensures no slip in palm, a comfortable feel in hand, and impact resistant housing to protect the optimal system.
