Generation 2: Evolution of the Hunt

Building on the foundation of our original design, the Northwinds Bino Harness is the result of countless hours in the field and direct feedback from hunters who demand more from their gear. We took everything we learned from Gen 1 (while retaining the rugged durability you trust) and refined it into a leaner, faster, and more versatile system.

The Gen 2 remains constructed from high-tenacity fabrics, YKK® zippers, and Duraflex® buckles, ensuring it continues to provide the reliability you expect from Northwinds in the harshest environments.

Refined for Performance

We’ve streamlined the profile by cutting unnecessary weight and removing underutilized pockets, creating a more ergonomic fit that won't hinder your movement. The core bino pouch still features our signature magnetic forward-pull opening for silent, one-handed access, and integrated tethers to protect your glass.

Weather-Ready Innovation

New for the Gen 2 is an integrated, deployable rain cover. Tucked away in a discreet, "secret" pocket on the back panel, this lightweight waterproof shield can be deployed in seconds when the skies open up, ensuring your optics and electronics stay bone-dry without having to dig through your pack.

Expanded Modularity

The Gen 2 isn't just a harness; it’s a truly versatile modular system. We’ve expanded the MOLLE footprint across the main bino pouch, giving you more real estate to customize your kit; while altering the wings to fit more of what you need. To support this evolution, we have developed a suite of all-new accessories from the ground up, designed specifically to integrate seamlessly with the Gen 2 platform.

Key Enhancements:

• Ultralight Architecture: Shaved weight for long-distance stalks without sacrificing structural integrity.

• Integrated Rain Shield: Built-in waterproof cover stored in a hidden rear compartment.

• Custom-Built Accessories: New handwarmer, rangefinder, phone, and utility pouches designed specifically for the Gen 2 system.

• Optimized MOLLE Layout: Increased attachment points for holsters, knives, and specialized gear.

• Streamlined Storage: Expanded the number of high-use stretch pockets for tags and calls, while the overall footprint is tighter to the chest.

Whether you are navigating spring timber or glassing across high-alpine basins, the NMBH Gen 2 scales to your mission. It is the definitive modular chest rig for the modern hunter who values precision, customization, and weight-conscious design.

The NMBH can be modified by adding any of the following:

• MOLLE Phone Pouch
• Range-finder pouch
• MOLLE Handwarmer
• Sidearm Holster
