What verified buyers said

"Kept all my gear that I needed access to on the front like my binos and range finder. Then on the back panel I put a backpack so it's all one piece. Then when I get in the tree the back panel is removable." Ethan K., verified buyer

"The key word is SYSTEM folks. This isn't simply another bino harness or chest pack." Wesley S., verified buyer

A chest rig, not a bino harness

Most bino harnesses are finished products. The pouches the brand chose, in the spots the brand chose, in a layout you cannot change. When you want something different, you buy a different harness.

The Detachment is the opposite. It is a platform, not a product. You decide what goes on it and where it rides. Configure it once. Reconfigure it forever.

How it works

Laser-cut MOLLE front. Clean slots cut straight into the Squadron laminate, with no sewn webbing to snag or add bulk. Mount any MOLLE pouch from any maker. Move The Bino Pouch anywhere on the panel, or pull it off and run something else.

Built-in suspender attachment points. The attachment points sit on the bottom of the rig, so saddle suspenders connect to the chest rig instead of routing over your shoulders. Suspenders are not included.

Removable back panel. The back panel detaches with a magnetic connection at the bottom and pulls off silent. Run a pack on it for the walk in, then strip it off in the tree.

Plate-carrier strap geometry. Straps pull from a 90 degree angle, so the rig tightens to your body and stays put on a stalk instead of bouncing.

Interior velcro platforms, front and back. Add a belly pouch, a hand muff, or whatever extends your setup. The internal plates and padding come out like the plates in a real carrier.

Frequently asked questions

What is The Detachment?
The Detachment is a modular MOLLE hunting chest rig for saddle and mobile hunters, made by Wayward Ridge. It has a full laser-cut MOLLE front, built-in suspender attachment points, and a removable back panel, and it weighs 16.1 oz empty.

What is the difference between a chest rig and a bino harness?
A bino harness carries your binos plus the pockets the brand picked. A chest rig is a load-bearing platform. The Detachment has a full laser-cut MOLLE front, so you mount the pouches you want where you want them, and plate-carrier strap geometry keeps the load tight to your body.

Is The Detachment a good bino harness alternative for saddle hunting?
Yes. It carries your binos and everything else you choose on one MOLLE panel, it has built-in suspender attachment points for your saddle, and the back panel comes off when you want to strip down in the tree.

Does it work with saddle suspenders?
Yes. Suspender attachment points are built into the bottom of the rig, so suspenders connect to the chest rig instead of routing over your shoulders. Suspenders are not included.

Does it come with pouches?
No. The Detachment ships as the platform, and pouches are sold separately. Run the MOLLE pouches you already own, or any aftermarket MOLLE pouch from the hunting and tactical world.

Can I move or remove the bino pouch?
Yes. The Bino Pouch laces to standard MOLLE, so it mounts anywhere on the front panel or comes off completely. Swap in pouches from any MOLLE pouch maker.

How does the back panel come off?
It detaches with a magnetic connection at the bottom and pulls off silent. Run a pack on it for the walk in, then take it off when you get in the tree.

Can I mount a holster to it?
Yes. A MOLLE holster mounts to the front panel. You can also mount it to the bottom MOLLE on The Bino Pouch, or to a dangler pouch that has a holster attachment.

How much does it weigh?
16.1 oz empty, without the panel attachment.

What sizes and colors does it come in?
One size, fully adjustable. Ranger Green only.

Can I paint it?
Yes. Krylon Fusion paint will hold on the Squadron laminate.

Where is it made, and what is the warranty?
Made in the USA from laser-cut Squadron laminate. Lifetime transferable warranty, plus 30-day returns for a full refund.

Who designed it?
Green Beret Jake Roberts, founder of Wayward Ridge. The Detachment brings Special Forces kit architecture to hunting: MOLLE, modular pouches, and a load-bearing platform you configure yourself.
