Badlands Bino Case

Has any one used or are using these, and what are your thoughts on them. I am not looking for ( this brand or model is better ). I am looking for opinions on these that have used them. Thanks

They are nice as long as you are happy with just the magnetic closure system. I like that but think they should add a little strap with a snap buckle or something to lock it shut if you want to.

I know of one like that if you're interested.

I dont like em..they are big, awkward, and dont like the magnetic closures...the one I use is perfect, and he actually had his on the market a year before Badlands came out with one...simple is always better

There will be a review of the 9 top bino cases in the upcoming issue of Elkhunter Magazine, just an fyi.

IMO the Badlands case is way over priced.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. As to being overpriced....all of our hunting gear is going that way :lol:

Yeah but when you consider that the FHF is hand made in MT, way better in quality and slimmer, doesn't bounce when moving fast and is close to $50 cheaper then the Badlands, then it is way overpriced for a made in China product.

I don't like the "clop" found the magnet makes. And the lid is never 100% locked. ( on the badlands). The harness part is pretty comfy tho.

love mine...works awesome. I can squeeze in compact binos, range finder, radio, calls and maps. I've hunted in rain and snow with it and it does the job well.

I loop my rangefinder teather around the hatch strap (so i never worry about losing the range finder). Range finder goes in the bottom, binos above them and the radio to the side (with antenna peeking out the top, earphone to one ear). When i get into animals i can bump bios to bottom and rangefinder to top for quick access.

The only con is the loud closure...just roll it closed vs letting it fly.

Yeah I second ya rino....I bought it and like it. The sound is easy to get rid of if you pay attention to what your doing when you close it. I thank everybody once again for their input. As far as not staying closed....I can't see that, stays shut pretty dang well, and I believe they are made in Vietnam not China, but I am a Badlands guy all the way ( have used their packs for years and ain't changing

) Thank you all and no disrespect to anyone :oops:
