AGC squeek!! help!!

[Hoytman 88]

I switched from the fhf system to the AGC this spring. I liked the fhf but in an attempt to try to keep my glass cleaner I switched. I like everything about the AGC except it squeaks like crazy while walking and I cant get it to stop. the foam pad on the back portion of the main compartment squeaks against the bottom of the Swaros when it moves. anyone else have this issue? has anyone conquered this issue

Outside of how is covers your binos, which harness do you like better? I bought a AGC, but thinking of returning it for a fhf.

Nope, been using AGC since 2009 and never had a squeaking issue and I have used 4 different models over those years.

The FHF was good, but it doesn't keep your glass very clean. AGC I like better, but this squeakin when im walking has to go or its going in the trash for sure and ill go back to FHF I guess?? maybe the KUIU system idk

Keeping the binos clean is not an issue with me. I'm mainly looking for the best holder system.

I like the Kuiu system myself. None of the extra bulk and it fits my swaro el ranges good.

I've not experienced squeaks with the AGC. Which particular model are you using?

No squeaking here either. I've had 3 different models so far.

Mine will squeak too. I lined it with some bow silencing material. It is that stuff you can put on your bow shelf that is made of fleece with an adhesive back.

Haven't noticed squeaking either and I run swaros too

 

[LongbowLogan]

Mine squeaks also while walking and when putting my bino's back in sometime, my bino's are Vortex.

 

[Hoytman 88]

Its not that its squeaking because of the binos, you can take them out and work the case back and forth and the foam padding will squeak on the material.

mine squeak too as of this this year. didn't have the problem last year.

 

[Laelkhunter]

Mine doesn't squeak, but it is new and haven't used it much. Anyone contact AGC to see if they are aware of the possible problem ?

I don't think you're the only one that has had this issue. I had something similar with a piece of gear a few years ago and for the life of me I can't remember what it was. Either way I softened/broke in the material just by squeezing it to break it in. Think of it like flexing a ball glove to break it in. That did the trick. Might be worth a shot on your AGC.

No squeaking on my AGC cub harness with Nikon 10x42's. I'd contact AGC for a solution. Hope this helps.

No squeak on mine when walking. I kind make a squeak if I rub the binos hard against the inside walls while removing but it doesn't happen when I remove them normally. I am running 10x42 diamondbacks for binos.
