Glasspak Pro And Sport MAIN

Chest harnesses have become such a standard piece of hunting kit that Vortex began including variations of their GlassPak bino harness with most models of its binoculars. Now, after listening to customer feedback and testing, that lineup gets an upgrade with two improved options to help hunters keep close their most important asset for finding hidden game.

GlassPak Pro Bino Harness

GlassPak Pro Binocular Harness

Multi-day hunts call for binocular protection that’s more than just secure. The GlassPak Pro Binocular Harness is designed for peace-of-mind protection and fast access to essential gear, with one handed operation. An easy-adjust harness is designed to deliver a quick, custom fit, while rapid-release buckles allow the harness to be taken on and off in a hurry. A DWR-treated exterior keeps the elements away from binos, while a quiet, microfiber exterior keeps noise down and promotes padded protection.

The GlassPak Pro has front, side, and rear storage pockets. Loops and modular attachment points to secure the included rangefinder pouch, accessories, even holsters for sidearms or bear spray. Choose from two sizes to accommodate small and large Vortex glass. MSRP: $179.99

GlassPak Sport Bino Harness

GlassPak Sport Binocular Harness

Designed for hunters who need a form-fitting, compact and adjustable harness to keep their binos close at hand, the GlassPak Sport Binocular Harness delivers protection from the elements, body-facing elastic closure, and semi-rigid structure. Similar to the GlassPak Pro, the Sport version also features one-handed operation, an easy-adjust harness and quick-release buckles.

Available in two sizes, the GlassPak Sport accommodates a range of full-size binoculars, while the weatherproof fabric and quiet, microfiber interior keep them snug and secure. Side pockets hold calls, wind-checkers, a lens pen, and other frequently used, small items. A larger rear pocket holds items such as a license, spare ammunition, or a mobile phone. MSRP: $79.99
