i also use the vortex harness - (Leica's inside though!) and you ca add little pouches to the straps for range finder, bits and pieces as necessary. As note I wear mine every day when walking my dogs so it gets a lot of use and it has lasted me really well.Vortex Optics Guide Binoculars Case Coyote
Protect your binoculars from the elements, keep the lenses clean, and stow essential gear close at hand with the Guide BinoPack. Integrated bino leash...www.midwayusa.com
Not sure I paid this much, but I really like it. Light, carries binos, rangefinder & can squeeze the kestrel in.
Hey Alaska Guide creations….This is simple. I want Binos, rangefinder, Kestrel, GPS and phone all in my chest pouch. Would rather it be flatter like a plate carrier!
I still prefer my Alaska guide chest pack for reasons stated in my #13 post, but FHF gear is my close second favorite of most useful bino packs.I've been using an FHF for years and I really like it. I don't see myself changing harnesses for quite some time. If I did I'd probably try the Marsupial. That being said, I had an AGC for a couple years before I bought the FHF and at the time I really liked it but wanted to try something different. When I got the FHF I was impressed immediately, the modularity is superior, and it's much more compact and fits a lot closer to my chest.
I have tried most out there and my favorite is marsupial gear. I have both the magnetic and the elastic (non-magnetic) version and use each for different applications.I am headed out on a west Texas Mule deer/aoudad/elk hunt this month and was wondering everyone's opinion on bino case, harness or regular neck strap. 90% of our hunting is done from a ranger unless we need to stalk. In years past I used the neck strap but it starts rubbing on the neck after 6 days straight of hunting and glassing but it makes it easy to remove binos to prepare for a shot. What's everyone else prefer and maybe some equipment suggestions?
I have run the kuiu and the stone glacier for sheep hunting and ultra light applications. But the switch to marsupial is complete now. I have a Kuiu Pro that i could sell since it is just collecting dust. It is in Vias and has the little zipper pocket underneath and the rangfinder pocket on the side.I've had a Kuiu bino holder the last 4yrs that is very comfortable and lightweight. They recently upgraded their holder. Looks pretty stout.
I run a very similar setup with mine minus the GPS. Still rocking OnX on my phone with goes in the top bungee. Only thing different is a glasses cleaning cloth in one of the side bungee pockets (mines one of their hybrid designs) and my outdoorsman bino adapter in the max pocket. I haven't seen a different bino harness that can pack this much crap.Yep. I got the classic max I think? Probably the biggest one they make. Everything I need at my fingertips goes in there, or on the harness. Gps in gps pouch, range finder in rangefinder pouch, binos in binos pouch, tag and license in back pouch, stop call on top pouch, windicator in left zip pocket and bow release or loose ammo in right side zip pocket. Front pouch kestrel on tether. The bottom elastic I roll a map in. Usually when I pull the map out of my pack more than once, I put it in the harness, out of convenience, because I don't want to waste energy lifting and dropping my pack. The maps in the pack because I didn't want to forget it in the truck lol.
