Butler Creek has announced a new lightweight binocular pack. Termed the Featherlight Bino Caddy, it is made of the same, breathable, closed-cell foam as the company's Featherlight sling. The caddy comes in three sizes, to fit 10X-42mm, 12X-50mm, and even 15X-56mm roof-prism models. A three-dimensional top flap keeps out dust and moisture, while silent suede materials and the Featherlight backing help protect binoculars from impacts and abrasions. 

A slotted foam backer not only allows trapped heat to escape but also provides additional cushion when used under heavy backpacks and other accessories. Adjustable straps allow for a tight, jostle-free fit, while a quiet magnetic closure engages automatically to secure binoculars. This also allows for one-handed access. MOLLE webbing on the pack's front and rear is included for accessory attachment, an interior mesh pocket and rear compartment can handle calls or tags, while a side mesh pocket can fit a water bottle.

For more information on  the Featherweight Bino Caddy, which comes in Prym1 MP (multi-purpose) camouflage, please visit butlercreek.com. MSRP: $74.95-$84.95

5 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me Before My First Elk Hunt

I grew up hunting whitetails in the Midwest, and while I thought I was in “elk shape” on my first western hunt, I quickly learned that chasing elk at high elevation requires an entirely different level of fitness.

If you’re fortunate enough to fill your tag, the real work starts.
