Title: Lockdown S4 Bino Case.. Opinion?
Post by: Smossy on March 18, 2013, 10:49:44 PM: Just picked up a Lockdown S4 Bino Case for my new Vortex Diamonback 10x42's in the Large size, It fits perfectly. Wanted something that could somewhat protect my lenses while Im Hiking/Scouting. Jumping/Climbing over and under stuff n what not....
Anyone out there have one of these? If so how do you like it and how does it hold up after constant use?
It seems pretty solid..

Ive even crawled around on the ground with them :chuckle: to make sure they stick to my chest. They dont bounce, They cover the lenses just enough. Pleased with this purchase and I actually highly recommend them.

This looks like a less costly solution and less bulky than the badlands. I've played with the Sitka version and don't like it, the zippers would annoy me.

Zippers? Theres no zippers on this one. Just bungy style cords. Has a security cord for when they're not in the protective case. The case opens with a quick release bungy also.

That ones ok, Its too bulky. I usually have my Gopro strapped to my chest also so Im limited on space but like the protection of the S4's
