Striver Gear
Bino harnesses and packs from Striver Gear, for hunters in Australia and New Zealand. Your binoculars ride on your chest through the walk-in, stay quiet in the scrub, and come up in one hand when a stag steps out on the far face. The pouches, holders and packs in this range all clip onto the same harness.
The Striver quick release binocular harness
Most bino harnesses make you take the whole rig off to stow your binos or hand them over. This one doesn't. The pouch unclips from the harness and the harness stays on, so you're not wrestling straps at first light. It's 500D Cordura, it opens and closes with one hand, and it has a rain cover and a large front pocket.
Which bino harness size?
Three pouch sizes. Measure your binoculars folded and pick the one they fit inside.
- Small: inside 165 x 142 x 69 mm
- Medium: inside 180 x 142 x 69 mm
- Large: inside 203 x 152 x 81 mm
Take the rain cover off and each size gains up to about 19 mm of height. Not sure? Tell us your binocular model and we'll tell you which size.
The harness uses magnets, so it isn't suitable for anyone with a pacemaker or a similar medical device.
Why use a bino harness?
A bino harness carries your binoculars on your chest instead of your neck: protected from dust and rain, quiet, and one hand away. The Striver Streamline harness has a quick release, so the pouch comes off without taking the harness off, and the pouches and holders in this range clip on around it.
Build it out
- Pouches: rangefinder, phone and zipper pouches clip onto the harness.
- Holders: bullet, mouth call and release holders, and the Bow Dock for archers.
- Hydration Pack: wear it as a backpack, hang it off the harness, or strip its straps and mount it straight onto the harness for one clean rig. It takes most hydration bladders; the Striver 1.5 litre bladder is sold separately.
Striver Gear was founded in 2022 in Montana and builds for hunters who carry their gear a long way. Any two items ship free to Australia and New Zealand.
