What reviewers say

GearJunkie's tester liked the full enclosure and the magnetic lid and judged the shortcomings minor. The one real knock was the add-on rangefinder pouch, which felt less solid than the main pack. Hunters on forums and retail sites like that it seals out rain and dust better than open-top harnesses. Fit depends on picking the right size for your binocular, so use the maker's size guide.

Good

  • Fully covers binoculars from rain, dust and snow
  • Fast one-handed open and close
  • Quiet fleece lining
  • Modular add-ons

Not so good

  • Pricier than basic harnesses
  • Magnets can affect a compass
  • Add-on rangefinder pouch is the weak link

Who it's for

Hunters who carry binoculars on their chest all day and want them protected. Skip it if you mostly sit in one spot and keep glass on a strap.
