Rick Young Outdoors – Ultra-Light Bino Harness

Monday, August 24th, 2015

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.
