Binoculars (chest rig) harness concept – Upper Torso Connection [binoculars], UTC-B

With all benefits of existing binocular harnesses (which also offer a good method of attaching mini/micro chest rigs), there are some disadvantages in their design.

Its straps become twisted – see picture below.

The whole system offers a limited ability to raise/lower attached item, either a binoculars or chest rig.

To improve listed above, we need to re-design the whole harness and change the attachment method. The existing figure-of-eight layout form is very advantageous, so it will be kept for future.

To force straps to lay flat, we will add a side detail, platform with D-ring for lower straps (while upper straps are sewn directly to platform).

Very easy to make a prototype, but I’m still too lazy to do it. Just some photos of pre-pre-proto-prototype several years old, see below.
