Bino harness

Recommend a harness. I got some binoculars now but I can’t stand them flopping around when I lean over to pick up something. 10x42 for size reference

Looking for the same thing, preferably all weather.

Best $20 you’ll ever spend on a hunting related item.

I’ve tried several more expensive ones and much prefer this one. Very versatile and easy to adjust.

I use and prefer the one made by FHF Gear.

I have a badlands harness. I got it 50% off and it works good.

Another vote for the FHF Gear. It’s a dang handy set up.

Rick Young Outdoors that Buckhunter2 suggested. Best I have used, and I have tried several.

Their neoprene case/cover is awesome also.

I got a Kuiu pro harness before my trip to Wyoming. Been very satisfied with it.

Alaska guide creations is the one I landed on after selling my badlands.

I recommend.

This harness is hands down the least cumbersome, most useful bino harness in existence. You will not be disappointed if you buy one.

I tried several before settling on a Sitka , its light and simple. I looked on their site and didn't see it maybe they quit selling it. All I saw was a monster size that had a pouch made on it. Looked like a backpack on your chest.

Same here. I have the Vortex branded one but it’s exactly the same. Also have the rangefinder pouch integrated into the chest strap and it works well as a single unit.

+1 for Alaska Guide Creations

I have an FHF gear. It’s ok but I actually like the Marsupial design a little better.

I chest carry a rifle a lot, and fixed harnesses get in the way. I prefer minimal/versatile carry (front, side, traditional) and fast/easy, based on how I’m hunting at the moment.

I like the idea of these with the case/pouch. Do these interfere with a bow string?

No

You just take an arm and put it through the middle, and it’ll ride toward right or left of center, or just put the whole thing over a shoulder and let it ride on a hip.....binos and rf are easy to swing up and use either way.

This, I have 2 of these

Thanks fellas,

I use a Crooked Horn Bino Harness; does not interfere shooting a bow. I practice with it on.

I have a cheap Bushnell harness I got on clearance at academy a couple years ago. I like it and it works much better than a strap. I'm sure the nicer versions are even more comfortable. I don't think you could go wrong with any harness vs the strap

Kuiu and S4 both the same, they dont interfere shooting a bow. The S4 offers less protection from dirt and moisture though

Some of y'all appear to be walking around with a baby carrier strapped to your chest

Try these:

This one looks pretty good.

Its great when its new but the elastic stretches out pretty quick. I don't do the pouch thing. I like the simple Sitka one. Camofire had them for $24 a week or so ago. I really like Badlands packs and base layers but I wasn't crazy about the bino harness.

I've used this Vortex one for two years worth of deer and turkey hunting. It's been great so far.

Vortex Bino Strap

The simple Sitka is what I have, I like it. I didnt see it listed on their site now though.

That one looks good , very simple. I'll go back to the little neck strap that comes with binos before I wear a backpack on my chest for them.

The elastic is stretched out on my old Cabela’s harness. I just keep using them.

The bungees on the Ruck young style work better than the strap style, IMO. Don’t have to worry about twists, and don’t even know you’re wearing it. Every chest pouch I tried ended up in my way and being hard to get on/off/just right. Couldn’t move them to my off side, wear regular, stuff in a backpack or jacket pocket, etc. Chest harnesses just seem like trying to make the simple into something overly complicated.

Same for me. I tried 4-5 different solutions, until I found the one from Rick Young Outdoors. It just works.

Ok , I got my harness from Rick Young. It works great so far. I had on heavy jacket and 2 layers underneath it this morning, just slipped it on and made a quick adjustment. I got the little hang on deal for my range finder also. Thanks for the recommending this harness.

Good deal! Make sure you glance at the manual and see all the different ways to wear it and the quick and easy way to make it temporarily hold them really tight against your chest, comes in handy climbing in and out of stands.

I alternate between the Alaska Guide Creations when I need the storage space for extras and a Rick Young when I don't. Rick sold me an orange whistle that clipped in to the harness that is handy. I heard Sitka is about to release a new model of harness, that could be why their old one is not on the website as others are saying.

Just got vortex binos and badlands harness case for Christmas. Dumb question but how do y’all attach binos to the key ring attachments in harness? Zip ties?

Rick Young Outdoors sells binocular connection straps for $5. easy to use, and keeps the split ring off the binocular loop.

Thanks!

Directly with the split ring or a tiny piece of 550 cord or zip tie in between. Anything will work. Direct works bestest.
