Small, simple, and always ready.
The Standard Issue is our most compact binocular—designed for everyday exploring and first looks into the natural world. Fully multi-coated lenses and premium BaK4 prisms deliver bright, sharp views in a small package that’s easy to bring along, whether you’re spotting birds from the trailhead, checking the swell, or scanning the horizon on a road trip.
Built with a rugged, no-slip grip and waterproof, fogproof construction, the Standard Issue is made to live in your pack and come out often. It’s an approachable, go-anywhere optic for new birders and outdoor roamers who want quality glass without the bulk—or the fuss.
The iconic design of the housing itself is unlike any other binocular, with a textured gripping surface in an ergonomic shape and accommodates hands of all sizes. The result is pleasing on the eyes and helps dissipate the shock of any impact. Inspired by vintage BMX mushroom grips and the artwork of Frank Stella inspired by the natural patterns of sand that form in the dunes, and the swell formations of the ocean: seemingly symmetric and geometric, yet each line, each wave, completely unique.
The packaging of the product is entirely plastic free, using post consumer recycled cardboard and soy ink printing. The box can be shipped on its own, and is constructed in a way that requires no glue. The interior scaffolding, made from a single piece of cardboard, holds the product in place, stores included accessories, and protects the product from impacts.

Compact and Crystal Clear
The Standard Issue 8x25 and 10x25 redefines compact binoculars - by packing Swiss optical engineering in your palm. Using the highest grade optics we could source: authentic Bak4 Prisms and Fully Multi Coated lenses, this binocular provides a bright, wide field of view, wherever you go. With high quality optics first, these Nocs are ready to join on any trip and bring you closer to your surroundings. Go see for yourself.
Fully Waterproof and Fogproof
Whether it's a rogue wave, a kayak flip, or a spilled beer at the ball game, the Standard Issue is ready. Submersible for 30 minutes in up to 3 feet of water, meeting IPX7 waterproof criteria, Nocs dare to go. With a medical grade O-ring assembly, and injected with inert nitrogen gas, these binoculars will never fog up in the field, guaranteed.
Fully Multi Coated Lenses
Each Nocs binoculars has 6 pieces of glass in both cylinders, each piece layered in anti-reflective coating with a low refractory index. Each surface is coated with multiple layers, for a crisp, bright image, and color clarity to the edge of the field of view.
Rugged No Slip Grip
It's true, the ridges on the product look nice, fit well in small and large hands alike, and provide plenty of grip - and it also doubles to protect the optics from impact by dissipating impact force. Patented.
Light and Pocketable
Weighing in at 11.85oz (336 g), the Standard Issue is there when you need it and disappears when you don't. Not literally, although we hope to invent disappearing binoculars someday. In the meantime, travel light with Nocs.
