Standard Issue 25mm vs. Field Issue 32mm

The Standard Issue is our most compact and lightweight binoculars available. All of our binoculars have a Rugged Impact Absorbing Housing designed to feel great in-hand while providing protection and are waterproof (IPX7) and fogproof (nitrogen purged)

What’s the difference?

  • The Standard Issue has a 25mm objective lens while the Field Issue has 32mm resulting in better low-light performance and providing a more immersive experience with a wider field of view.
  • The Standard Issue is smaller and lighter, only 11.85 oz compared to the 16.7 oz Field Issue
  • Both have BaK4 Prisms but the Field Issue does have slightly more advanced lens coating resulting in better a clearer image and better light transmission (we call it HiFi Fully Multi Coated Lenses)
  • The Field Issue features an Oversized Focus Wheel for ultra smooth and precise focusing

Bottom line: We highly recommend the Standard Issue for beginners or those who highly value the compact size and lightweight form. The Field Issue should be considered for those looking for clearer images and a larger Field of View.

Standard Issue 25mm vs. Pro Issue 42mm

The Standard Issue is our most compact binoculars available. All of our binoculars have a Rugged Impact Absorbing Housing designed to feel great in-hand while providing protection and are waterproof (IPX7) and fogproof (nitrogen purged)

What’s the difference?

  • The Pro Issue has a Ultra Wide Field of View: 429 ft field of view (8x @1000yds) compared to the Standard Issue’s 357 ft @ (8x @1000yds)
  • The Standard Issue is much smaller and lighter, only 11.85 oz compared to the 24 oz Pro Issue
  • Both have Bak4 Prisms however Pro Issue utilizes higher-end lens coatings (Fully Coated vs Broadband Fully Multi Coated) prism coatings, and more advanced lens groups resulting in a brighter, crisper image.

Bottom line: We highly recommend the Standard Issue for beginners or those who highly value the compact size and lightweight form. Those who want the clearest image, widest Field of View, and best low-light performance should go with the Pro Issue.
