Bino Harness Reccommendations

[kcm2]

I find a harness to be too hot for a lot of my hunts so I just cut a piece of fleece to cover the glass at the top. Obviously, I'm in the minority.

I just did a deep dive on this topic and settled on a Marsupial kit. It's perfect for me for what I like to carry on-me all the time no matter what kind of hunting or practice. Once I decided what gear was important to carry the decision became easier. One simple solution and great protection for optics.

Another vote for Marsupial. Quality is great. Bino pouch and rangefinder pouch fit nice and tight to the body and don’t interfere with my shot.

I agonized over a few brands as well, but went with the Marsupial and been using it for a couple years now and I love it!

Marsupial for sure. They sit tight to your body...they don't put pressure on the neck like others. The enclosed ones keep dust off and binos clean. Perfect for me. And made in the USA. I like that too.

Like my Kifaru one a lot.
Mine is the older model that just has the straps. So planning here soon to order the new harness for it.

If you don’t mind magnets I think Marsupial is the nicest looking and is very well made. Their “no mag” versions are too bulky. For no magnets the Alaska guide creations are sweet. I’ve got a few of those.

Last year I bought full set ups of marsupial, Kifaru and Kuiu. Sent them all back and stuck with AGC.

Kifaru was by far the most disappointing. That thing just sucked all the way around.

If you want something light and simple I use and like the stone glacier skyline, I only use it to carry my bins though while hunting, that’s it

Specifically for 3D it could be nice to have more attachment options/pockets for stuff

The marsupial works pretty well. The strap they sent with the unit were way to short and not enough adjustment for me. I found out later that is a common problem. They make a longer strap. Was a pretty big hassle to get the right strap from Marsupial and pretty expensive. The standard strap also did not allow me to use the unit with heavy winter layers. Maybe they now offer a larger strap as a option? I am 6’4 and 220 lbs

Great info in this thread, I’ve been looking at all these brands of bino harnesses.

My favorite for archery is still my Adak harness as far a light weight and quietness if something brushes against it. I'm trying Marsupial this year to see how it goes. I'm skeptical on magnets, but willing to try them again.

Marsupial for me. Ran a ADAK a few years and Alaska guide creations before.

AGC is all I have ever used, they have worked well for me since the early 2000's before bino harnesses were cool. Jaret is also good friend and neighbor.

I use an agc ravus for my geovids and the marsupial no mag for my sig zulus. I really like both and can wear both all day no problem.

I love my marsupial bino harness. I do the upper buckle delete to get it to sit a little higher on my chest, and like that it doesn't move when I move. I can't stand it when the bino harness flops around.

Has anyone tried the Muleyfreak Game Changer R bono harness? No magnet design, looks very solid. I’d love to hear some feedback on it. Robinhedd

I started cheap, while it doesnt give the best protection the rick young outdoors harness and plus adapter has worked well for me.
