    Tough choice what do you think?

    I'd hedge this way. I'm not sure what you spent on the three of them, but I imagine it would be enough to get you close to the cost of the Kowa 553 you wanted, or into the used market of others, that will undoubtedly have better glass than the three you've got.

    Pack Size?

    3500 or so would probably be fine, but I suppose it depends on your gear list. The bigger packs can usually compress down really well too, so it doesn't hurt to go bigger.

    Unbiased Outdoor Vision Bino Harness Review / Continued Bino Harness Search

    Has anyone ever handled the Hunt Hard Eagle Eye bino harness? There seems to be pretty much zero info out there on it. Looks to be a full coverage, forward opening with a couple of side pockets, and maybe a zippered front pocket? Eagle Eye – Bino Harness – Hunt Hard Gear

    Upgrading in a couple months to the ~ $1000 range, advice/feedback greatly appreciate

    On the Kifarucast podcast, Optics Review part 1 Aron goes over a few models in the $1000 class. IIRC, the Maven B2s came out on top, but he also liked the Nikon Monarch HG. It's a quick episode, worth 20 mins of your time to get some insight.

    EXO Backorder times

    Ordered a multicam 3500 on April 19th, website said expected ship date was 2-3 weeks. It shipped on April 27th, and was delivered today. Website still says expected date is 2-3 weeks. I had a couple of small special requests, and when they got the pack in and were prepping my order, I got an...

    Hunting Boots vs. Hking Boots

    I would be looking at the backpacking category of boots, or if you want a stiffer boot, look at mountaineering boots. Backpacking boots would definitley be where I'd start.

    Camo for bino harness?

    Maybe for turkeys, but otherwise just buy what you think looks cool. I like camo, especially for nifty hunting specific items like a bino harness, but I don't buy it under any misguided notion that the colour will help me be more successful, I just like it.

    I think you'd be fine while you were active, but it might be a stretch down into the 30s for glassing or anything stationary. A lightweight puffy like the Cirrus would probably cover you for that.

    Ordered once before, also in Canada. No complaints.

    Kifaru belt on Exo Frame???

    Ok, Duplex belt ordered. Now for Exo to get the K2 frames back in stock so I can replace my 2015 frame. Thanks for the heads up on this, I think this will come pretty close to exactly what I want in a pack.

    Kifaru belt on Exo Frame???

    Is there much of a difference running the shoulder straps off the belt or the frame? Is that a small belt pouch on the right hand side?

    Bino case help

    I like them to keep everything tight to my chest. Using the regular webbing harnesses or the Rick Young harness the binos will sway and bounce. They provide some protection obviously. I also like being able to keep a couple of things handy in the pockets, most used item probably being a wind...

    Marsupial vs Outdoor Vision Bino Harness

    I've got a Marsupial. The Outdoor Vision harness straps look like a sweatbox. These things aren't carrying tons of weight, I don't need tons of material and padding. I have an AGC as well, I feel the straps are overkill on that too. I do like that the OV is more full coverage, and the rain cover...

    Kuiu bino harness vs OPW BinoBro opinions please

    It would have to be the marsupial at this point. I'm going to look into one of those inserts for the Binobro, and maybe some sort of tether setup, but that ends up being quite a bit of messing around to get it how I want it, and would moreso be for fun to see how it turns out at this point. I'm...

    Kestrel knife or Benchmade Altitude?

    Which one are you gonna go with? I like the looks of the short Ovis hunter but can't find a whole lot in the way of pics or info out there on it.

    Kuiu bino harness vs OPW BinoBro opinions please

    I have a Binobro pro, but no experience with the Kuiu. The Binobro is nice and light and low profile, but there's no real structure to it, so it's difficult to re-insert your binos one handed. Someone in the DIY section made a moulded plastic or kydex insert to help hold it's shape that might...
