Despite me searching very hard, there seems to be a lack of padded bino cases available. Years ago CCS used to make such things but the best I've come up with so far are Lowe Pro camera pouches.

Does anyone know better?

Cheers

Hi

I purchased several Tamrac Green padded cases last year which are excellent they zip open at the front for easy access and will protect from reasonable bumps

Think this link will show you one like i bought

A bit bulky, but very well made, though lightly padded. Big enough to fit 50mm roofs, but easiest to use with 42s. They are discontinued but still available. You can google the model name for other dealers, and might save a few bucks, but the one I linked to is good.

These have a good reptation and are offered by a lot of sporting goods stores as well as being available direct from the manufacturer:

Oh now that's deluxe protection. Thanks for putting me onto them

I also like the Bino harness and hide combination Sportman's do. I can't wear full-size bino's round my neck for more than 10 minutes without developing a splitting headache - the legacy of poor posture!

Yes I looked at those. There's something similar produced by Alaskan Guide Creations; I've emailed them to no avail so far.

Does seem that North American Hunting Gear manufacturers have got the market cornered for this sort of thing
