Smart Optix Field Guide

Every Outfitter should be carrying a Smart Optix Field Guide to share their scouting experiences through their client’s electronic devices. Finally, a tool that can connect your optics and cell phone. From there, a guide can share what’s on the mountain with anyone who has a computer. This is a great marketing tool as well as an essential piece of gear.


Lid Crib

Lid Crib uses patented technology to organize and display your hats. However the magic lies within how the hats are stored. Using the patented “cup” technology, Lid Crib will preserve the shape of your bill whether you prefer your bill curved or flat. No longer will baseball cap owners need to scramble for rubber bands, tediously wrapping them around the bill or stuffing your hat into cups for that desired shape. Instead, simply hang your hat in the Lid Crib display rack when not in use and that’s it!
