Product Summary
This tension-free optics deployment system is the ultimate solution for your binocular-storage problems. Essential on impulsive free-hand mountain climbing trips, the harness is equally useful for inner-city foot-commuting, particularly on busy Fridays. If you happen to be in Switzerland and plan to roll both activities into a single day, you will appreciate the streamlined straps and comfortable anti-bounce technology included in the LockDown design. Its moldable security cover accommodates and protects an array of optical gadgetry with a scratch-resistant lining, a tough aluminum core, and a durable outer layer.
Description
Most binocular straps either have no lens protection at all or have a large, unwieldy storage container that offers no attachment or tether while optics are in use. The LockDown provides the best of both worlds using a pliable cover for a low profile fit and ShockCord Security Straps that fasten your optics for maximum security.
Tension Free Glassing
This allows you to draw your binoculars to your face with a single motion. The 50-50 pre-load design utilizes the ShockCord Security strap for maximum protection during storage while being completely free of load during use.
Anti-Bounce Technology
Safely secures binoculars to your chest without permitting the movement or bounce associated with traditional harness designs. You can move freely, bend over or even crouch without your binoculars moving around or becoming uncomfortable.
Moldable Security Cover
Protects a wide variety of optics. The laminated design features scratch resistant materials inside, an aluminum core for memory and a durable noise resistant fabric for the exterior.
Streamlined Straps
These straps are lightweight, silent and designed to be compatible with backpacks
Multiple Adjustments
For personalized sizing and comfort. Whether it's your waist size, optics size, optic cover position, optics tension or harness positioning, you can accommodate an array of adjustments with a single model.
ShockCord Security Straps
Fasten tightly to your optics for maximum security while still maintaining tension free glassing.
Two Sizes Available:
The S4Gear LockDown is available in two sizes for fitting your optics properly. The Large size fits binoculars that are 6"-7.5" in length. The Micro size is for binoculars that are 4.5" to 6" in length.

I use the lockdown system to protect my very nice binoculars that are too expensive to allow damage from all the environmental hazards they go through with hunting and horseback riding.
I had to send back for the larger size even though my binos are a size 6 because they didn't quite fit how I wanted. I also had to put duct tape over the rivets because they were scratching my focus nob every time I put them back into place. Otherwise, really like the protection system and the tension free viewing!

This is a GREAT idea that is not quite perfected yet, especially if you want to use it for hunting along with wearing a backpack. Purchased it for my Minox BV 10x42 binos, and they just barely fit under the upper cover. The tensioning system gets all bunched up at top of shoulders, making it uncomfortable to have a hunting pack over it for any length of time. Also, the rivets under the top cover rub against the focus knob; a probable bad wear spot. Tension-free viewing is nice idea but not totally 'free', as is the snug fit to chest while testing it on a jog; but would want better side-to-side cover over top of more bino models, and want to see a better design where all the adjustment bunches up at the base of your neck when wearing it (this is the biggest failure of the product, imho). The waist-cinch buckles are bulky, too. May keep it, but leaning toward returning it with comments and hopes that S4Gear comes up with an improved model before next elk season.
