FOB Bino Harness Setup Instructions

Adjusting the Harness

Your harness comes with the airframe harness, pouch, wind call pouch, and foam inserts. First, adjust the harness so the Y in the back sits high between your shoulder blades—avoid it riding on your neck or too low. The tabs on the back should align just over your shirt’s top seam.

Once the harness is positioned, adjust the pouch height. For a high and tight fit, keep the auto-lock buckles high. For a lower fit, extend the webbing. The elastic keeper on the buckles reduces noise and helps route the webbing—pull it down onto the female buckle, unbuckle, and adjust as needed.

The webbing is routed through laser-cut slits for concealment. To lengthen it, pull the webbing up into the harness and adjust using the auto-lock buckle. Once set, reattach the male-to-female buckle and slide the elastic back over.

Managing Webbing & Bino Hangers

The side harness elastic keeper secures excess webbing—optional based on preference. The bino hangers attach via small metal hooks in sewn-in loops. To attach, remove the lower portion, thread through the bino’s studs (not the rings), and tighten. Reattach to the harness when done.

Setting Up the Pouch & Accessories

Open the pouch to find the wind call pouch and foam shims. The wind call pouch can attach to either side via MOLLE—simply weave through the slits and tuck the tag end underneath the last MOLLE row for a secure fit.

For the binos, use the included shims to adjust their height in the pouch—stack them until the binos sit near the top. Adjust the metal band inside the pouch to fit your bino’s bridge width by bending or straightening it.

Attaching Accessories

To add a range finder, attach it to the side MOLLE by weaving the slits on the pouch with the slits on the range finder. You can reverse placement depending on preference.

For a wing setup, slide it into the webbing loops after removing the side buckle. This gives two attachment points for the wing and one for the harness. Attach the range finder using either MOLLE column—I prefer the inner column for a tighter fit. Tuck excess webbing between the laminate and foam for comfort.

This setup works for other accessories like the E3, Nav pouch, or Rhino pouch. Customize it to your preference. Also, make sure to watch the video created by Paul Lewis, FHF's Founder below!
