The goggle’s I2 tubes utilize proprietary modifications to deliver meaningful and repeatable color contrast at low light levels associated with nighttime operations. The goggles are optimized to present more lifelike color under moderate illumination conditions, and better contrast under all conditions.

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.
