New Caddy and Rangefinder Pouch Offers Maximum Protection and Easy Access

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – January 6, 2022 – Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, announces the introduction of its Vault® Bino Harness System. The new Vault offers hunters and shooters effective and convenient protection for their optics in a compact design that doesn’t restrict movement in the field.

Packed with the features serious outdoorsmen and women need most in the field, the Vault has a compact, modular design that makes protecting and accessing your optics easy. A quiet magnetic closure gives you fast, one-handed access to your glass. The top closure completely covers the top of the caddy, protecting your binoculars from dust and moisture, plus it opens towards the front so the closure doesn’t get in the way while retrieving your glass.

Inside, the bino caddy features a water-resistant, soft lining that cuts down on noise and protects your objective lenses. The caddy fits up to 12×50 roof prism binoculars and can be adapted to fit smaller binos with an included riser that sits in the bottom of the pouch. Mesh pockets on the sides of the caddy are a handy place to stash mouth calls or wind checker bottles, while a zippered pocket on the back of the caddy can hold a smartphone or your tag. MOLLE webbing on the bottom of the caddy allows users to attach a handgun or bear spray holster.

Overall, the caddy is designed to be low-profile and compact so it doesn’t interfere with movement. The integrated, ultralight harness is comfortable and easy to attach and detach with the built-in buckles. Users can also detach the caddy and use the standalone harness with their binoculars.

The laser rangefinder pouch (sold separately) is constructed with the same fabric and magnetic closure as the bino caddy, and it attaches to the side of the caddy using three simple U-shaped clips. This gives users easy access to their laser rangefinder, and an integrated tether prevents them from losing it in the field.

The feature-packed Vault bino harness system has an MSRP of $69.99. The laser rangefinder pouch has an MSRP of $29.99. To learn more about these products or to see the full lineup of Bushnell optics and gear, check out Bushnell.com.

The MCRS also includes a variety of harnesses and additional components to attach to any chest rig front, including slim, ergonomic and modular harnesses adoptable to both LE and MIL end-users.

S.O.Tech Go Bag Extended, MultiCam Black

Tuesday, December 21st, 2021

Over 16 years of the iconic S.O.Tech Go Bag line. The SGB-X (S.O.Tech Go Bag, Extended) for the first time now offered in MultiCam® Black.

The S.O.Tech Go Bag series came from a friend in one of JSOC’s Tier units. They were operating in Afghanistan and Iraq crammed in Hi Luxes and Little Birds. They needed a survival kit bag that could slide in and stack in those compact spaces and extract when the troop came into contact.

The original tubular bag with single sling shoulder strap had three small zippered pockets for batteries, food, NODS, and other items.

When the same troops needed to transport their weapons quietly, we extended the length to accommodate the M4 broken down and extended the side pouches to take mags. Breaking the carbine down and stacking its components presented a a tubular shape that confused any surveillance team looking for weapons bags.

The design was quickly adapted by teams across the Interagency. And the third iteration was the S.O.Tech Go Pack where we created a double shoulder strap version for those guys carrying such a heavy load that the sling shoulder strap just wasn’t enough. However, we configured it in a unique arrangement so the double shoulder strap could connect for form a single sling strap for lighted load. All of these designs allowed for the quick donning motion of throwing it over the head and shoulder, and the easy access by spinning it around.
