Where Vortex wins

The GlassPak Pro has real advantages.

  • 01Two sizing options for a broader range of optics
  • 02The VIP warranty, which Vortex applies unconditionally
  • 03A DWR-treated exterior with a quiet, padded microfiber interior
  • 04A mature support and accessory ecosystem behind a major optics brand

If those are the reasons you are buying it, buy the Vortex. If you mainly want a quiet bino, rangefinder and utility system, compare the complete cost.

Check your glass

Fit before price.

Vortex publishes sizing for its two GlassPak Pro sizes on its product page. The LT2 has one size: bino compartment 6" wide by 7.1" tall, which fits compact 8x32s through full-size 10x42s and most 12x50s. If your optic only fits one of the two, that ends the comparison.

Will my binoculars fit?

The bino compartment measures 6" wide by 7.1" tall. That covers compact 8x32s through full-size 10x42s and most 12x50s. Measure your glass closed, objective end down, and give the height a quarter inch of clearance so the lid closes cleanly. Full method in our sizing guide. If yours do not fit, send it back: returns are free.

Will my rangefinder fit the pouch?

The removable pouch fits most compact rangefinders up to 3.3" wide by 4.1" tall, behind a magnetic lid. Larger unit? Add the $15 Universal Rangefinder Pouch, which stretches to fit, or run it on the other side.

What body sizes does it fit?

The straps adjust to fit hunters from roughly 80 to 400 lb, over a light shirt or a heavy hunting jacket.

Reviews

From hunters running the LT2 and the LT1 platform.

Quiet
William HensonVerified buyer

LT2 Bino Harness

I absolutely love the harness, it has a bunch of storage and is super quiet.

Fit
JosephVerified buyer

I took a chance on this product as I couldn't find many reviews. So therefore I'll leave my review in hopes it helps someone else. This is well worth the price and it fits my Vortex 10x42 and lots of room to spare. The material is soft and surprisingly supple. I'm a big guy and it fits with room to spare. ...

Durability
Jason BCustomer review

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.

Value
Ryan MelendrezCustomer review

Great deal!!

My option the quality is comparable to other bino harness that cost 4 times the amount.

Shown as written and labeled with the harness they were left on. The LT1 and LT2 share the same chest pack, straps and magnetic access.

If you do not need the Vortex ecosystem, you do not need to pay for the whole system.
