The Quake Industries Bino and Rangefinder Harness (Model A04950) is an all-in-one optical chest rig engineered to keep hunting binoculars and a laser rangefinder secure, silent, and accessible. Designed to prevent gear bounce during active movement, the system houses optics within rigid internal polyethylene (PE) structural panels wrapped in a quiet, soft-stretch fabric. It includes a modular rangefinder pouch that attaches via a U-shaped Duraflex connector to either the left or right side of the main harness, allowing hunters to access both primary optics and ranging tools without unbuckling the main rig.

Key Features

• Silent Single-Handed Access: Uses a top-opening lid secured by a central strap and lateral elastic cords, eliminating loud hook-and-loop or zipper noises during close-quarters game approaches.
• Modular Ambidextrous Rangefinder Pouch: Connects to either side of the chest rig using durable Duraflex snap hardware, accommodating both left- and right-handed shooters.
• Impact and Bounce Protection: Internal PE panels on the back, bottom, and lid protect glass against impacts, while fully adjustable chest straps with quick-release buckles keep the 0.490 kg rig stable while crawling or climbing.
• Integrated Weather Defense: Built with weather-resistant fabric, tether leashes to prevent accidental optic drops, and a zippered bottom pouch housing a deployable rain cover for heavy precipitation.

Who is the Quake Industries Bino and Rangefinder Harness for?

• Spot-and-stalk big game hunters — requires a quiet, low-profile chest harness measuring 21 cm × 18 cm × 8.5 cm to carry standard 8x42 or 10x42 roof-prism binoculars securely against the torso without excessive gear sway during extended glassing hikes.
• Bowhunters requiring hands-free movement — benefits from a 0.490 kg rig that combines primary optics and an ambidextrous modular rangefinder pouch on a single chest platform, enabling silent, one-handed ranging while maintaining clearance for bowstrings.

Less suitable for: Long-range hunters carrying oversized 15x56 or high-magnification porro prism binoculars that exceed the 21 cm × 18 cm × 8.5 cm main compartment dimensions, who require an XL-capacity bino pack instead.
