The all-new Shield Bino Harness utilizes the proprietary DEADQUIET fabric developed by ALPS OutdoorZ to create a bino harness that not only protects expensive optics from weather and environmental hazards but is extremely quiet.

Butler Creek has announced a new lightweight Bino pack. Termed the Featherlight Bino Caddy, it is made of the same, breathable, closed-cell foam as the company's Featherlight sling.

Steiner announces the launch of its new Anti Reflective Device (ARD) for Steiner Military-type Porro-prism binoculars with 30mm and 50mm objective lenses.

Bushnell’s top-of-the-line Forge family of optics now includes a 15x56mm binocular for glassing game in wide-open terrain. The Forge 15x56 has ED Prime glass elements with Bushnell’s Ultra Wide Band anti-reflection coating, as well as the company’s EXO Barrier coating on exterior lenses to repel moisture, oils, dust and debris.

The Revic Acura BLR10b is one of the most capable smart bino/rangefinders on the market, and will render you a more precise and deadly shooter on the range and in the field.

Alps OutdoorZ has debuted its Deadquiet Ember Handwarmer. This handwarmer works in conjunction with the company's Deadquiet Shield Bino Harness, or as a standalone product to help keep hands warm and ready when the temperature take a dive.

Hunters have so many good choices in mid-priced binoculars these days that arguing brands is as pointless as engaging in the ol’ .308 vs. .30-06 debate. The crowded and competitive nature of the $300-$800 bino market is a great thing for buyers—but not necessarily sellers. And so when I heard a new company named Styrka had entered the business, I had to question its approach. What more could Styrka offer in a bino with a street price of about $650 that’s not already available?

After listening to customer feedback and testing, Vortex has given its bino harness lineup an upgrade with two improved options to help hunters keep close their most important asset for finding hidden game.

Here’s a question for hard-core big-game hunters: How much is efficiency worth to you? Or more to the point: Is the convenience of a rangefinding (RF) binocular worth the extra money and the extra weight vs. carrying separate bino and rangefinder units?
