## What this asks of a harness

### No neck strain on a long walk

The strap that came with your binoculars puts all the weight on your neck. Padded, adjustable straps spread it across your shoulders and chest instead.

### Your glass stops swinging

A chest harness holds the binoculars against your body, so they are not bouncing on every step or knocking against a railing or a scope.

### Fast and quiet to open

Silent magnets, one-handed. Nothing about getting your glass up will flush the bird you are getting it up for.

### Fits the optics birders actually use

The compartment is 6" wide by 7.1" tall, which covers compact 8x32s through full-size 10x42s and most 12x50s.

## How it works in the field

1. **Walk in**Binoculars ride tight against your chest, no swing, no neck load.
2. **Spot movement**One hand opens the magnetic lid.
3. **Glass**Optics come straight up to your eyes.
4. **Stow**Lid closes on its own magnets, hands free for a scope or a notebook.

## Questions we get

### Is this camouflage?

No. The LT1 is a solid coyote brown and the LT2 a lighter khaki. Neither is a camo pattern.

### Will my 8x42s fit?

Yes. The compartment is 6" wide by 7.1" tall and covers compact 8x32s through full-size 10x42s, plus most 12x50s. If yours do not fit, returns are free.

### Do I need the hunting accessories?

No. The harness works on its own. The MOLLE webbing is there if you ever want a pouch on it, and ignoring it costs you nothing.

## One more thing worth adding

If you carry a compact camera, a GPS unit or a phone you want reachable, the $15 Universal Rangefinder Pouch mounts to the MOLLE on either side and holds it behind elastic sides you can work one-handed.

## Lifetime warranty, free returns for 30 days

If a seam, buckle, magnet or zipper fails because of how it was made, send us a photo and we replace it.
