I’ve had a AGC for like 10 years, it’s served me pretty well. Need to get the wife one and maybe a new one for myself the elastic on the top flap is worn out and I can’t keep my phone in there anymore without it falling out at times. Anyway what are you all running and why. I know this topic gets talked about quite a bit but I want to make sure I get the most recent feedback before I order some
 
I have tried several always come back to my MR harness. I just picked up another one for a new set of binos.

I’m pretty simplistic and it covers all my bases.

I’m also pretty sure I use more because I have ocd and use MR packs.
 
I own an older Kuiu harness that has served me well over the past 7yrs. Looking into upgrading to their new Pro Chest Pack. The one from Miley Freak seems to be gaining a lot of traction as well.
 
Marsupial gear are really solid and probably have the best selection of compatible accessories (ranger finder & tech pouches etc.) I have run one of their enclosed harnesses with my 8x binos for years and it has held up extremely well.

I also have a set of larger 12x binos that I run in a Eberlestock Recon. It is actually a little more comfortable than the Marsupial and has more storage but is not thee same build quality. Overall happy with both for their respective setups.
 
I had been using one from kuiu that last few years and never really loved it. I just upgraded binos so got a new Marsupial with rangefinder pouch to go with. I haven’t had it long but it’s a definite step up to put it lightly
 
If you had an Alaska guide creations for 10 years why not get another. Thats a pretty good track record I’d say. That’s what I’m running and love it. Made in the USA too.
 
I have the FHF FOB, sheerly because it fits my binos of choice the best of several that I tried.

My advice, buy the harness based on what fits YOUR binos the best. I had a Kuiu pro that was awesome for my old Vortex Razor UHD’s, but wasn’t great with either pair since. My AGC KISS Cub was great for the Maven C1’s, but not so great for others. I’ve discovered it doesn’t matter what the sizing charts say, you have to test fit and buy what actually fits your Binos best.

Unless it’s the Muley Freak harness that fits your binos best, at that point it’s preferable to put your binos in a Walmart sack rather than bankroll a convicted poacher.

I probably will but I also need to get one for my wife so it’s a good opportunity to get her something different to see how it works

I have so many different binos! lol for glassing strictly I have nl 12’s for nrl matches I have vector x’s but just got a set of el ranges I also have a set of razor UHD’s I won at a match although I probably should sell those. How did you test all those harnesses? Order them all and send the ones back that didn’t fit well?

Yup, exactly. I tested a bunch and returned the ones I didn’t like. I had a couple that I thought would work, so I kept, but after a bit changed my mind, so I ended up with an extra or 2. But now I’m positive of my decision.

I cant complain about the AGC harness other than like you said...the elastic on the top wears out where I put my phone
 
Striver gear is another solid choice to look at. I bought it and the marsupial (my brother tried a lot of different options and settled on it). I tried the striver first and have liked it enough that I haven't used the marsupial yet.
 
I’ve had a KUIU PRO for 4-5 years and really enjoyed. That said, it’s started to get kind of squeaky on me this year. I’m going to try the upgraded Vortex pack. If that doesn’t work, I may try a newer KUIU.
 
I bought an outdoor vision based on reviews here years ago. I was looking to get one for my son and saw they were out of business. I bought him an AGC and think I like it better.
 
I've been very pleased with my marsupial. Not a ton of extra storage, but it holda and carries the binos well, without being to much on my chest, and I find them comfortable
