The Bino Harnesses for hunting all seem to be overkill and incompatible with LCE while the military never seemed to adopt anything beyond a simple strap which allows the binos to flop around.
I ran across the Ultra-Light Bino Harness from Rick Young Outdoors while persuing the wares in the outdoor pavilions during a recent trip to Salt Lake City during the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market. It’s a simple affair, fashioned from shockcord and buckles. This makes it silent and allows the wearer to secure the binos and carry them in several different manners.

Not too shabby. I like the looks of their neoprene bino cover as well.
Actually checked this out at the Sportsman Show in Portland earlier this year, good little piece of kit & works well.
I bet it will even carry the P&S digital camera I take on raids above my chest rig. Set it to video and instant body camera, instead of having to wear a GoPro and carry a still camera for scene photos. WAY too expensive for what it is, but thinking it up was priceless.
I dig simple and effective designs like this! Most of the bio harness systems I’ve tried are complicated and somewhat bulky when adding them over a plate carrier or chest rig.
Congrats to the designer, I think they have a great seller on their hands!
Perfect example of out of the box thinking! Ordered for me and also for my buddy!
