What do you actually carry?
If binos, a rangefinder and one utility pouch is enough, the LT1 is intentionally simple: nothing on your chest you do not reach for. If you genuinely want a large number of built-in storage zones, TIDEWE can be the better fit, and we would rather say so than sell you a harness you will find too plain.
After year one
Published warranty: One year, defects in materials and workmanship.
Lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects: if a seam, buckle, magnet or zipper fails because of how it was made, send a photo and we replace it. Normal wear and damage from use are not covered, and we do not pretend otherwise.

The lid and rangefinder pouch close on magnets stitched into the fabric.
Bottom and both sides. Our pouches or anyone's.
Reviews
Durable, Lightweight, and Great Design
I have ran several bino harnesses in past hunting years & seasons, and the Lone Trail chest pack has quickly become my favorite. It's light weight, but also durable. They did not cut corners on quality, and it has everything a deer hunter needs in regards to design. ...
Solid
Good quality. I just got done crawling through some of Colorados roughest terrain for a week while wearing this. It’s held up strong. I like the magnets instead of buttons or Velcro.
Excellent customer service
Got this harness for Christmas gift from my wife for upcoming archery deer hunt. A button snapped, at first I was bummed to say the least . I sent an email Christmas Day and within ten minutes a personalized email came swinging back at me . ...
Great deal!!
My option the quality is comparable to other bino harness that cost 4 times the amount.
Genuine Cordura, silent magnets, both pouches included, lifetime warranty on defects, free returns.
Magnet notice: This product contains magnets. Keep away from pacemakers and other magnet-sensitive medical devices. Magnets can also affect compasses at close range.
