Not everyone will benefit from using a bino harness system.
If you mainly hunt from a tower or tree-stand, you won’t benefit from the added control it gives.
Same thing if you hunt on foot, but always shoot of sticks.
In those cases, a regular strap will be fine.

Bino Caddy FAQ
CAN EVERYONE BENEFIT FROM USING A BINO CADDY?
DO THE BINOCULARS GET DIRTY when the caddy has open sides?
In short, the sides might, the optics won’t
We’ve used an open design for the caddy.
Because it makes it easier and faster to operate your binoculars.
Some folks are concerned that the binoculars will get wet.
The adjustable cover provides a snug fit that keeps your binos fully operational.
The sides might get wet, but the optics won’t.

DOES THE HARNESS WORK WITH ACCESSORY POUCHES?
Yes. pouches with a regular belt loop will fit on the 38mm / 1.5" webbing side straps.
WHAT IF MY BINOS ARE TOO TALL TO FIT?
You have two options, if your binoculars are slightly taller than the caddy.
1) If your binoculars are just a little taller, you can adjust the cover to it sits slightly higher than the edge of the caddy. It will still work.
2) If that's not enough, you can remove the cover and use the eyecup protectors that came with your binoculars. The magnetic buckle can be used without the cover.
NB, we don't recommend using binoculars that are more than 2.5 cm or 1" taller than the caddy. And they must still be within the specificed max width.

IS IT WATERPROOF?
The Bino Caddy is made from waterproof Cordura nylon canvas so it will keep your optics free of rain and dirt.
It is an open design for fast use so water and dirt may enter the caddy if submerged completely.
CAN THE BINO CADDY BE WORN WITH A DAYPACK?
Yes. The Bino Caddy harness is made from low profile nylon webbing. That means you can wear it with a daypack or light rucksack.

The harness will keep the caddy snug to your body almost all the way to horizontal, as long as you tighten it sufficiently.
