Competitor prices checked 2026-08-29 (Badlands). The centerpiece ## Integrated versus modular rangefinder storage. ### Badlands The rangefinder lives in a dedicated built-in compartment. Always in the same place, always tethered, part of the chassis. You cannot move it and you cannot leave it at home. ### Lone Trail The rangefinder pouch is removable, replaceable and positionable on MOLLE. Run it left or right, swap it for the larger Universal pouch, or take it off for a rifle hunt where you do not carry one. Neither is universally better. If you want the rangefinder built into the chassis, that is Badlands. If you want to decide where it rides, that is the LT2. A lot of the Badlands searches say bowhunting ## Which is better for bowhunting? | | Badlands Bino XR Pro | Lone Trail LT2 | | --- | --- | --- | | Chest depth | 6.25" x 5" x 3" | 4" case depth, pouches excluded | | Full-draw clearance | Verify with your own bow | Verify with your own bow | | Rangefinder access | Built-in compartment | Side pouch, either side, one hand | | Exterior noise | Not published | StealthStalk brushed exterior | | Tether routing | Not published | Optional tether set, routed where you want it | We do not declare a winner on string clearance.

Badlands publishes an unconditional lifetime warranty. That is broader than Lone Trail's lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, and you should know it going in. What Lone Trail adds is 30-day free returns: try the LT2 at home with your glass, and send it back on our dime if it is not right.

Reviews ## From hunters running the LT2 and the LT1 platform. Quiet **William Henson**Verified buyer LT2 Bino Harness I absolutely love the harness, it has a bunch of storage and is super quiet. Fit **Joseph**Verified buyer I took a chance on this product as I couldn't find many reviews. So therefore I'll leave my review in hopes it helps someone else. This is well worth the price and it fits my Vortex 10x42 and lots of room to spare. The material is soft and surprisingly supple. I'm a big guy and it fits with room to spare. ... Durability **Jason B**Customer review Solid Good quality. I just got done crawling through some of Colorados roughest terrain for a week while wearing this. It’s held up strong. I like the magnets instead of buttons or Velcro. Value **Ryan Melendrez**Customer review Great deal!! My option the quality is comparable to other bino harness that cost 4 times the amount. Shown as written and labeled with the harness they were left on. The LT1 and LT2 share the same chest pack, straps and magnetic access. ## If you want the Badlands chassis, buy the Badlands. If you want the core bino + rangefinder system for $75, buy the LT2.
