We spent a huge amount of time testing and designing prototypes before releasing our Bino Defender. We've hunted for years with different bino protection systems, picking them apart and piecing them together until we finally produced what we feel to be the ultimate design. We wanted our system to be slim-lined for less bulk while crawling through the scrub and the important ability to see your foot placement in dodgy terrain. The bino defender exploits a magnet release for the fastest and quietest possible entry, an easy access rain cover for additional protection in turbulent weather and 4 pockets for further essentials.
Bino Defender
Fits perfect my Minox Binos, no superfluous material that would be in the way of you being able to see where you step in alpine and subalpine rough Terrain.
Only thing I modified this time was to adjust the elastic straps and then sewed the loose ends to the back side, making the elastic more rigid that way. On the old I one wore the elastic completely out because it is just to loose for me and kept pulling tighter.
Great product can highly recommend this, great service and a great price.
A good piece of kit! Like others my binos are a bit tight so have to ease them in and out, no doubt there will be a wee bit of stretch over time. I hang the Rangefinder Defender Pouch on one side and the Latitude GPS Pouch on the other side on the straps which I have to do up fairly tight so as the pouches stay in place.
Good kit, particularly for this sort of money - Recommended!
Great and easy to use just little to small / tight for my binos

A slim profile allows maximum vision of the ground for safe foot placement on uneven terrain.
We've equipped a special air-flow foam for maximum breathability, which also helps keep the bulk down to a minimum, so it doesn't dig in under your pack.
The Bino Defender has a big thumb loop, a no-look puller for faster opening and closing, and a magnetic clip which not only adds to the ease of use but also means silent operation.
An ergonomic harness is adjustable and optimised for maximum comfort. The top webbing straps lock the height and fit of the harness while the lower elastic strips hold it firmly to your chest but allow stretch for breathing and bending.
The harness can be detached at the end of the day. All held together with quality YKK® buckles.
External tethers have been implemented to avoid internal bunching and provide a full range of movement.
We included openings on the sides to allow for airflow. This is critical for preventing heat and pressure disparities between the air inside and outside the pouch. Long story short, this helps to prevent your lenses from fogging on cold mornings.
The Bino Defender is compatible with our Rangefinder Defender and other essentials, including the latitude GPS pouch. This can be attached using our trademarked AnchorLOK™ attachment system.
The Bino Defender comes with four pockets to store your wind checker or any other essential gear you may need. This includes an easy-reference internal range-card pocket.
A hidden rain cover is stashed in the bottom of the caddy in a concealed pocket. It's elasticised for easy application on those really wet days. The Bino Defender will also still function as usual when the cover is in use.
