Attach bino to harness?

[jamandt]

My bino came with the basic single neck strap so I bought a kifaru harness but then it got me thinking do you somehow attach the bino to the harness like a range finder tether? If you are attaching them anyone have a pic of how they do it or suggestions as I'm not seeing anything that stands out for how to do that.

Several companies make tethers.

I use T&K brand tethers

I watched my BX-5s go off a 60' cliff during spring bear.... use a tether.

This is the SG harness. I didn't know there were big name brands selling a harness without a tether.

The Kifaru is honestly the first I've ever seen that doesn't have tethers integrated to the shoulder harness.

FHF, Marsupial, SG, Sitka, Mystery Ranch, Eberlestock, Alaska Guide Gear, even the junky Vortex all have them built in.

This was my first and bought used so maybe missing it

Glad I asked, sorry about yours...

I run a marsupial enclosed with a modified Stone Glacier tether on the left side. By far the best buckle setup I’ve used, even though I had to hodge podge it together.

If I remember, I’ll snap a pic when I get home from work

Hehe, I willfully did not use tethers provided...Grandpa always told me "It sucks to suck" =)

I’m usually in a tree when using my binos so having them tethered is another piece of reassurance. Heck I even have my release tethered to my harness to ensure I don’t loose it when hiking and scouting.

SG tether buckles on Amazon cording looped through Marsupial’s d loop. Much better than the squeeze buckles IMO

Pro-tip: lots of the big names include tethers for each side. You only need one tether.

I have this harness and I like it a lot. To be fair the harness I had previously was the vortex that came with the binoculars, but this harness fits and rides very well. The main reason I picked this harness was because of the molle back panel to be able to attach a bladder and/or quiver, but I’m impressed with the harness overall as well.

I learned my lesson to always tether my binos or you inevitably forget and they drop out when you bend over for something. Only need to tether one side though.

I bought a pair of these from Amazon and they have been working pretty well last couple months.
