Bino harness

[Akrudup]

Have a pair of vortex fury 5000 AB binos and the cheap harness vortex sends with them just isnt cutting it anymore. Whats the best option that wont break the bank. I dont wanna really spend crazy money because I mainly use a harness during archery, rifle ill just carry them around my neck or the sit next to me in the blind.

They all work. They all do the same job. Each one has its own “game changing” nuanced difference.

I’ve owned a few of them now trying to find the one I like most. The only two I like are the FHF Fob and Marsupial Gear.

@Akrudup when you say you have the cheap Vortex harness, are you talking about this one? https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-glasspak-binocular-harness.html

As far as cheap harnesses go, this one is great. When you upgrade, you’ll get something better, but I would caution against trying to find a “cheap” harness that is better than this. I used this one for three years with no major complaints. If you don’t want to shell out the cash to buy a premium harness, then you’re not going to find anything “better” than this.

That said, I pickup up a Badlands Bino XR Pro with a coupon a month or two ago, and I’m looking forward to using it this year.

As @flyfisher117 noted above, each of the premium harnesses have a different perk, so you’ll want to decide what your ideal layout is before buying one. The XR Pro has magnetic closure top and bottom compartments, so both the binos and range finder can be easily accessed. Some are better for mounting a pistol holster, etc.

Just don’t spend $60 on another cheap harness expecting it to be better than that Vortex one.

I use Marsupials.

Marsupial Gear is the best IMO. Keeps binos close to your chest, perfect for bow hunting. I wear mine bow hunting and to 3D shoots. Works perfect.

I've also tried a few, and my choice was AGC Ravus, and the newest one is magnet free.

Marsupial or SG

I have the Vortex Glasspak Pro that has been great for hiking/hunting/crawling. I haven’t done much running, but it’s always been super secure. It looks like it’s about $130 at Scheels right now, and seriously I love it!

Tidewe.

Another vote for Marsupial, specifically the No Mag version. I am biased because they're 10 minutes from my house.

The FHF Harness is really nice too. I have a few friends with that one and they've been happy with it.

If you like a minimalist set up that doesn’t feel like you have a giant pouch on your chest then go with FHF or Marsupial.

Thacha. Never heard of the brand until I walked into a local shop that had it mislabeled for half off so I figured I’d give it a shot and I’ve liked it so far.
