San Francisco optics brand Nocs Provisions creates binoculars ‘with a touch of style for the modern-day adventurer’, featuring premium optics and high functionality. Its distinctive and colorful product range contains a host of quality, compact pairs and it’s a brand committed to doing things right. Like Patagonia, it’s a member of 1% For the Planet, donating part of its revenue to environmental causes, while its packaging is recycled and plastic free.
Where its bins are concerned, the range breaks down into the entry-level Standard Issues, the ‘Goldilocks’ Field Issues and the premium Pro Issues. I was excited to get hold of the Field Issues, which the brand state are built for ‘those going to far away places seeking the unseen’. In essence, these might just be the ideal pair for those adventurous souls who often venture out in their hiking boots. I tested the 10x32 pair, but they’re also available as 8x32s too.
