Butler Creek has been around approximately forever, and has been producing great stuff for hunters for decades. For 2021, they’ve introduced a new way to carry your binoculars: the Butler Creek Featherlight Bino Caddy. It’s a harness you wear like a chest pack. Heck! I guess it is a chest pack, but designed specifically for carrying your binoculars and accessories. The new Featherlight Bino Caddy comes in three sizes for whatever field glasses you prefer: Large for 10×42, XL for 12×50, and XXL for 15×56. Here are some manufacturer specs:
- 100% coverage from the elements, dust, and debris

Butler Creek’s Featherlight Bino Caddy is now available. Made of the same patent-pending breathable closed cell foam material as the popular Butler Creek Featherlight sling, the Butler Creek Bino Caddy offers hunters a comfortable, dependable way to protect their glass in the field.
A three-dimensional top flap keeps out dust and moisture, while silent suede materials and the Featherlight backing help protect binoculars. Breathable and cushioned, the Featherlight material is effective and comfortable with a foam backer that’s slotted to allow trapped heat to escape while providing additional cushion when used under heavy backpacks.
The Featherlight Bino Caddy features adjustable straps, quick disconnect harness, a quiet magnetic closure that automatically engages to secure binoculars, and a forward-opening top for efficient one-handed access to the main compartment.
You can attach accessories using the MOLLE webbing on the front and side, plus there are two small D-rings you can use to clip on a wind meter, rangefinder, or whatever. Mesh pockets inside and out give you a spot to keep small game calls or tags, wind indicator, etc. The tethered lens cloth is another great touch.
I admit I don’t use binoculars nearly as much as some other hunters do. I use quality scopes on my rifles for examining distant game animals, and I don’t generally hunt wide-open spaces where glassing is feasible, but if I did, I’d get myself some good quality binoculars, and a new Featherlight Bino Caddy from Butler Creek.
