Better Bino harness?

I’ve tried a lot a lot of harnesses. My fav by far is the original SG skyline harness. Lightweight quiet comfortable I like it better than the newer sentinel harness
 
Not many are recommending either of the good deals.

I am pretty happy with this setup. Would buy the no magnet version if I ever had to replace it.

Currently run a stock Medium Marsupial enclosed harness without any pouches. I'm far from an expert so yall can bash me, but over the past few months my idea of what a harness "should" and "can" do has changed. Before buying here's some stuff to think about...1) Think of the harness as a mini pack that can hold some survival essentials. 2) If you have a set of binos now, are you going to upgrade? If so will the size of the BH be appropriate for the size/shape of the new binos? 3) Go 1 up in size from what is reccomended with your current setup.

I used to have a 10x42 Vanguard which fit great, but once I bumped up to the EL 12x50 with the Aziak attachement I'm losing space to put stuff in the front pocket without making it a hassle to get my binos in and out. I do like my harness, but the Marsupial seems to be a minimalist BH, if you want to hold more on your chest you'll have to buy/make additional pouches. On a second run, I'd try the Alaska Guide Creations like BigNate suggested. The base Kodiak Cub and Alaskan Guide seem to have so much more space so for the price you get more per $.

I run a few Alaskan Guide. I would look FHF, Kifaru or new Kuiu...but I have been happy the last 6 years with my AGC.
 
Going to be really hard to beat the Marsupial in whatever flavor of your choosing.

Low profile, well fitting (both for optics and body), relatively minimalist with just enough expansion for essentials and a badass warranty...
 
Tough to be beat the Eberlestock bind harness. Quiet, secure and can add options like a holster or hand warmer.
 
After trying a few I stuck with my Marsupial. It is comfortable and does what
I want it to do. Holds what I want it to in the manner I want it to. I had some misconceptions of what I wanted initially in a bino harness so ended up needing to try a few. My AGC is built like a tank but the design just doesnt work great for me. It does make a dang good safe place to store my spare binos. Some people love theirs. Which one is best for each user is highly dependent on your wants.
 
I’ve had good luck with my Alaska Guide Creations & Kuiu Pro Harness. FHF is really solid as well.
 
I’ve been using the Badlands for several years. I do agree with many observations that the magnetic closure is a little bit annoying. When you hurry to pull your binoculars out to glass something up, and the harness opening has a tendency to slap shut sometimes making a lot of noise. I just purchased a marsupial to go with my new Binos. Hopefully, I will like it better
 
Alaska guide creations Ravus flex model! I just posted a video review on mine
