It’s that time of year when some of the most beautiful fall colors are surging throughout Colorado and the Rocky Mountains. Before this special season comes to its quick finale, be sure to plan a road trip to take it all in. All good leaf peepers know to bring along a reliable pair or binoculars, and we are loving the Nocs Provisions Standard Issue Waterproof Binoculars. As the mountain areas roll out their vivid display of golds, oranges and reds, we can celebrate this annual occurrence as something that deserves to be seen up close.
In terms of optics and clarity, I have found that Nocs perfect the balance between magnification and field of view, making them ideal for observing
the intricate details of aspen leaves and the broader vistas of the changing forest canopy. The clarity of these binoculars is impressive, and even with varying lighting conditions during sunrise and sunset the lenses perform with crisp images and great contrast.
One of the key advantages of the Nocs binoculars is their compact size. They fit comfortably in my jacket pocket or backpack without adding any noticeable weight. Given the steep trails around the Vail Valley and the unpredictability of fall weather, this portability has made them easy to carry on hikes without any hassle. The waterproof and fogproof features of these binoculars offer peace of mind that I really can bring them along on any adventure.
For leaf peeping, color is everything, and the Nocs Standard Issue delivers beautifully. The autumn colors in and around Vail are stunning, and these binoculars help bring them to life with vibrant and accurate color rendering. They make it even easier to appreciate the golden hues of the aspens in contrast to the evergreen pines and the snow-dusted peaks.
The focus wheel is smooth and easy to adjust, even while wearing gloves. I also appreciate the twist-up eyecups, which provided comfort for longer viewing sessions, whether using them with or without sunglasses.
Nocs are portable, durable and performance-forward binoculars that help elevate your outdoor experience in any season, but be sure to get out there and see the leaves before they fall.
Nocs Standard Issue Waterproof Binoculars are $95 and come in a variety of fun colorways.
