Thread: Thoughts on binocular harnesses.

I’m curious how many folks are using binocular harnesses and what they are carrying in them.

I’m on foot and shoot goats and the odd deer. I started out keeping my binos in a pouch on my belt, which carried the rest of my gear, then switched to a numbat chest pack as I wanted everything to be readily accessible.

Im using minox 10x42 binos which are nice and compact so I don’t need a dedicated bino pouch. With them I carry a spare magazine, knife, GPS and spare batteries. If I had a LRF I would carry that there as well.

Sometimes in the army we used chest rigs but most are overkill or not suited to civi use on the other hand binocular harnesses don’t carry enough. If I'm going to have the hassle of a pouch on my chest I want it to carry the items that I need quick access to not just my bino’s.

I thought this could be an interesting design if it didn't have so much velcro and elastic on it.


I’m a bit of a kit pest so I may be overthinking it, I guess most guys just chuck everything in a day pack and go.
