With Desert Season only a few weeks away we’ve started prepping for our upcoming Fall Adventures. That said, space and weight are always at a premium, forcing a constant compromise between gear you want to take and gear that actually fits in your rig. If you’re looking for an optical solution for trail scouting, star gazing or critter watching, the Nocs Provisions Field Issue 10×32 Binoculars deliver a heavyweight optical performance in a remarkably compact, glovebox-friendly footprint.
Despite its playful aesthetic, the Nocs Provisions Field Issue is built like a tank. With a rugged, IPX7 waterproof and fog-proof design wrapped in signature high-grip ribbed armor, it is engineered to endure mud, dust, downpours or lake and river activities. Inside, the chambers are nitrogen-sealed and fog-proof, ensuring that when you step out of a warm, air-conditioned cab into chilly, humid morning air, your lenses stay perfectly clear.
Our primary use for these binoculars will be scouting the trail ahead and the 10x magnification gave us plenty of reach. The premium BaK4 roof prisms and fully multi-coated lenses maximized light transmission and produced a quality high-contrast visual.
“Leave it in the rig” – If you want a dependable, rugged pair of binoculars that lives permanently in your center console, glovebox or seat back organizer, this is a clear winner. It provides clear, crisp dawn-and-dusk visuals to help you confidently select a dispersed campsite or scan an upcoming rocky ridge line before committing your rig. The sub-$180 price point mixed with a “No-Matter-What” lifetime warranty means you can actually use them hard on the trail without babying them too much.
