Any opinions on the new Kuiu Pro Bino Bivy?

Seems like the insert spaces are are band aid for too few size options

I would agree with that, and could see how 8x32’s would be loose

The insert spaces might not be the best way to do it. But at least it gives you some adjustment. I am sure there is hundreds of bino out there . It be impossible to make case to fit for every size. with that said i think 3 sizes would be a better. my 10x42 slc will probably be swimming in there. A medium might have worked better for a good deal of people .

I already thinking of a way to make a custom fit with spray foam

My SLC 15X56 are pretty snug in the Kuiu Pro. My 8X32 & 10X42 SLC fit perfect in my Sitka Bivy.

Here's my thoughts on the new harness. I checked them out as soon as they were released and didn't like the the way the top was when it was open. But, I wanted to see them again so I ordered it and tried it for five minutes. Simply put, getting the top to open and securely was a pita with one hand. Two hands, it was fine; but if I was holding my bow/rifle, it would be tough to get the binos out. And, I didn't like how the connecting straps come out from under the cover. Also, if I opened it quickly, the top would end up covering part of the binos making them hard to get out, even while being open. As for pros, I really liked the suspension on it and it was very comfortable.

Compared to my Marsupial, it is extremely hard to operate. On the Marsupial, I just flip it open and its open to get the binos in/out very easily. Unless I absolutely needed full coverage, I wouldnt be happy with the Kuiu.
