Bino Harness for 8x32

[Murdy]

I've been trying to find a bino harness that was designed for 32mm binos. My searches have brought up harnesses that will accommodate 8x32 binos, but they also fit 42mm, so they'd be bigger than needed for the smaller binos. What's the point of getting smaller binos if the case on your chest is still big enough to accommodate bigger ones? What has the reduction in size really gained?

Is anyone aware of a smaller harness that is made for smaller binos?

Rick young harness. Not a bino chest pouch, but a great light weight harness. Even works with 42mm binos

Oregon Pack Works Bino Bro Pro size small, probably your best bet and weighs about 4oz plus is super quiet.

I use bino bro pro , and then I made a small fleece pouch to lay in the bottom that holds tp and fire starter. It takes up the space and keeps tp dry . Works well for me. I so have one for my AGC cub harness

Thanks for the info, all.

Cabelas has an elastic edged camo cover with harness loops. Works great on my 8x32 EL's. I will see if I can find PN.

I found one at Cabela's website called the Teck-Lite. Looks like it would work. The one from Oregon Pack Works is probably my front runner, but I'm going to wait a little and see if anyone else chimes in.

Thanks all.

Make sure to get the pro with the basement pocket . Holds glasses, knife, small gps or whatever

I haven't laid my hands on all of these options, but none of them seem like they are small enough to bit an 8x32 nice and snug. Or... am I wrong about that? I don't like a bunch of extra room in my bino pouch. I'm currently putting an 8x32 in a KUIU pouch and it's no good at all- just too small.

If there isn't one that fits like I want I may try make one using an expensive option that's available.

What about the small sized S4 Lockdowns? Would they work ok?

Have you not checked out the FHF small?

Have you not checked out the FHF small?

This, I am looking at the 8x32 Swaro EL's or the 8x30 Swaro CL's right now and the measurements of the FHF small look like it will be prefect with some room to spare so they aren't in there super tight, should slip in and out perfectly. But, I haven't tried them in person, so only going of dimensions.

Probably would work fine but I also had enough room in a small to put 8x42's in it. I think Oregon Pack Works will even build a custom size if you want but make sure it is in the pro.

The Oregon Pack Works small dimensions, according to their website is 5" W x 1.75"D x 5.5"H.

Viper HD's in 32mm are 4.9 x 4.8 (for example), so that should be pretty snug on the sides with an extra half inch on the top.

That's about as good as I've been able to find (for comparison, AGC states their K.I.S.S. and Kodiak are suitable for 32 mm binos, and the dimensions are 6.5 inch tall x 6 inch wide X 3 inch deep / FHF small is 5.75W x 6H x 2).

Thanks all for the useful info.

The one I spoke of from Cabelas is actually a Horn Hunter cover. Allows use of any harness.
