## A binocular harness for hiking that keeps your glass reachable

Binoculars in a pack are binoculars you will not use. A chest harness is the difference between carrying optics and actually looking through them.

## What this asks of a harness

### Reachable without stopping

The whole reason to carry glass on a trail is to use it on something you were not expecting. That only works if it is on your chest.

### It does not fight your pack

Adjustable padded straps let you set the fit with a pack already on, and the profile stays tight rather than swinging.

### Weather-resistant, not precious

500D Cordura with reinforced stitching. It sheds rain and dust and takes brush without you worrying about it.

### Carry the small essentials too

MOLLE on the bottom and both sides takes a $15 pouch for a GPS unit, a phone or a compact camera, and the LT1 includes a removable utility pouch.

## How it works in the field

1. **Set the fit**Adjustable straps dial in over a shell or a base layer, with or without a pack.
2. **Hike**Glass rides tight against your chest instead of swinging from your neck.
3. **Spot something**One hand, magnetic lid, optics up.
4. **Keep moving**Lid closes itself and the harness goes back to being invisible.

## Questions we get

### Will it work with a backpack?

Yes. The straps are padded and adjust across roughly 80 to 400 lb of fit range, so you can set it up with a pack on.

### Is it waterproof?

It is water-resistant and sheds weather in the field. In an extended downpour we recommend keeping the lid closed and your optics stowed.

### Is it too hunting-specific for general use?

The LT1 is solid coyote brown and the LT2 khaki, with no camo pattern. The MOLLE webbing is optional to use.

## One more thing worth adding

Hiking in grizzly country? The $15 Bear Spray Holster puts a standard canister on your chest with a one-handed draw, and mounts to a belt or pack strap if you are not running a harness.

## 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.
