For that, one of the most reliable gadgets that you can have with you at all times is obviously a pair of binoculars, as these not only are great for sightseeing, but also conveniently allow you to scout any distant areas ahead with ease before actually going there, thus helping you to save on both time and energy that you’d otherwise be spending just walking on hard trails for long distances. So, for any outdoor enthusiast out there looking for a reliable pair of binoculars, check out the NOCS Provisions Standard Issue 8×25 Waterproof Binoculars.
The NOCS Provisions Standard Issue 8×25 Waterproof Binoculars are compact, lightweight, ultra-portable and impact-resistant, and also feature Adjustable Twist Up Eyecups with High-Grade Optics on one side, and Fully Multi Coated Lenses with Anti-Reflective Coating on the other, and that combination even allows you to snap a photo with your Smartphone.
Overall, this pair of waterproof binoculars are ready for literally anything that comes their way. In other words, the NOCS Provisions Standard Issue 8×25 are designed to be packed easily and be held effortlessly, as they come in a compact go-anywhere package that’s equipped with some really high-quality optics.
Ultimately, you can be sure that you’ll be wishing you had them since the very first you went exploring the outdoors.
So, without any further ado, let’s have a more detailed look at these awesome waterproof binoculars and check out exactly how they’re built as well as see just about everything that they have to offer you.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the Standard Issue 8×25’s exact size, these binoculars come at a very compact size, measuring just 4.53 inches long by 4.25 inches wide by 1.77 inches tall (115 x 108 x 45 mm), and they’re also fairly lightweight, weighing just a measly 11.85 oz (336 g)
Moving on to their impact-resistant and ultra-durable design, these binoculars also feature a Rugged Impact Absorbing Housing that’s mainly focused on keeping their Scratch Resistant Lenses better protected. Additionally, their outer shell also features a No Slip Grip construction, thus make these very easy to hold.
Not only that, but since these are in fact waterproof binoculars, they obviously feature a Waterproof-focused construction. To put simply, these waterproof binoculars feature a IPX7 Waterproof and Fog-proof Rating, which in other words, means that these binoculars can be submersed underwater up to a depth of 3 ft. (1 m) for a maximum of 30 minutes. That’s all thanks to their medical grade O-ring assembly.
Best of all, since the O-rings from these binoculars also integrate a Nitrogen seal, meaning that they’re also injected with inert nitrogen gas, you can be assured that these binoculars will never get their lenses fogging up while you’re exploring the outdoors.
Integrated right at their Ocular Lenses side (meaning the side that connects to your face / eyes), these binoculars have a set of Adjustable Twist Up Eyecups as their Eyecup System, which makes their Ocular Lenses fully-adjustable for a better viewing experience, with a decent Eye Relief of 7-13mm, an Interpupillary Distance of 56-74mm and an Exit Pupil Diameter of 6/50″ (3.1 mm), and around +/-3º of Diopter Adjustability.
Moreover, thanks to that same set of Adjustable Twist Up Eyecups, their Ocular Lenses fit all faces and eyes, meaning that these binoculars not only are easy to use with “raw eyes”, but are also perfectly compatible with glasses, thus making the NOCS Provisions Standard Issue 8×25 a perfect choice of binoculars for glasses wearers.
Now, as mentioned earlier, these ultra-modern waterproof binoculars also come equipped with High-Grade Optics on their Ocular Lenses side, as their Optics integrate authentic high-quality Bak4 Roof Prisms that ultimately allow these binoculars to always have a bright and reasonably wide 6.8º Field Of View that ultimately allows you to accurately see anything ahead of you located between a distance of 357 ft. and 1000 yards (between 113 m and 1000 m).
In addition, these binoculars also integrate a high-end Central Focus System that offers you a Close Focus of 13 ft. (4 m).
Then, sitting on the opposite side of the binoculars, for their Objective Lenses (meaning the binoculars’ front-side where you’ll be looking through) we have a set of Fully Multi Coated Lenses, for which each of the binoculars’ Lenses have a total of 6 pieces of glass in their cylinders (4 groups per cylinder).
Furthermore, as stated earlier, each of the binoculars’ Objective Lenses also feature an Anti-Reflective Coating with a low refractory index. Basically, due to the fact that each of their Objective Lenses’ surface comes coated with multiple Anti-Reflective layers, you’re ensured to be able to get a crisp and bright image with amazing color clarity that goes right up to both edges of the binoculars’ Field Of View.
Last but not least, thanks to the combination of the binoculars’ Adjustable Twist Up Eyecups with High-Grade Optics on one side and their Fully Multi Coated Lenses with Anti-Reflective Coating on the other, you’re also able to snap an infinite number of photos by simply putting your Smartphone’s camera against the binoculars’ Ocular Lenses’ High-Grade Optics.
And on a final note, I’d also like to mention that these high-end waterproof binoculars also come together with their own lanyard.
That said, if you were hoping to be able to have them hanging around your neck and shoulders, I’m more than happy to tell you that the company (NOCS Provisions) also has that taken care of.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
Inside each package users will find: their NOCS Provisions Standard Issue 8×25 Binoculars, the binoculars included lanyard, and a small Carrying Bag that even comes together with a small high-quality Cleaning Cloth for cleaning the binoculars’ Ocular Lenses and Objective Lenses.
