What customers say
“I’ve been running the Bino-Buddy for a few weeks now and it’s easily the best chest rig I’ve owned. The Tegris panel keeps it super light but still rock solid, and having the pouch and holster integrated makes everything simple and accessible. The holster draw feels natural, even when moving, and nothing shifts around. Built tough, made in the USA, and clearly designed by people who know gear.”
Emily Jones
“Picked up the Rigid Vehicle Panel for my truck and it’s a game changer. The Tegris build makes it tough as nails but still super light, and the MOLLE compatibility means I can set it up exactly how I want. I’ve got tools, a med kit, and a few essentials mounted—everything stays secure and organized, even on rough roads. Quality is top notch, and I really like that it’s made in the USA.”
Damon Rodriguez
“Exactly what I was looking for in a chest rig. Lightweight, durable, and super customizable with MOLLE/PALS for whatever setup I need. The Tegris material makes it tough but comfortable, and the DISCUS harness keeps it stable even when moving. Great quality and perfect for both range days and outdoor trips. Can’t beat it for the price.”
