Dan, I'm not familiar with the Cabelas BinoHide so I tried to find it on their site and didn't come up with anything. Have you got any more info? Here's why I'm interested: We've never come up with an ideal way to carry and use binos in heavy rain, and we hunt in rain a LOT. I've used the Crooked Horn bino harness in recent years, good, but doesn't solve the wet problem.

I carry my binos with a cover on the eyepiece end, which is up as they hang on the harness. To use, I lift them tight up under the broad long brim of my cap and take the eyecovers off under the cap brim close to my eyes, protected from rain. When finished, I reverse that, replacing eyepiece cover while the binos are under the cap brim before exposing them to rain again. We usually carry binos inside outer rain shell.
