Nocs x Parks Project
The Nocs 8×32’s real story is 8× magnification — steadier viewing, less fatigue, with a tradeoff in reach.
The camo here is a pretty decoration. The spec that matters on the Nocs × Parks Project Field Issue 8×32, however, is the 8× magnification.
Eight power is the sweet spot for hand-held stability. Go 10× and you amplify handshake along with detail. Eight gives you usable magnification without turning every breath into a wobble. For a tired dad glassing a ridgeline after a short ride, that means faster target acquisition and less eye fatigue.
Here’s the catch: 8× trades a bit of reach. If you’re trying to count antler points at serious distance, 10× might give you more detail — assuming you can hold it steady. I haven’t compared this optic to others in the $200 range, so I can’t verify glass quality or edge clarity. But magnification choice drives real-world usability more than strap design or limited colorways.
If you care about data, think signal-to-noise ratio. Higher power increases both. Eight power keeps the noise manageable. That’s usually the right call when caffeine and sleep are in short supply.
Here's the best part - every purchase supports the preservation of America’s public lands!
