Bino harnesses-AGC vs ADak

[Gagster7]

I currently have a AGC Kodiak cub with max pockets that i used for my leupold 10x42, I love the harness and the pockets were great on my hunt last year. I have upgraded my binos to Swarovski 10x50 and I don’t think they fit in this case.

What is everyone thoughts on the new ADAk harness. Is it as protective and would it be work making the change from AGC and giving up the storage??

 

[Dave47]

Love my AGC...I don’t see myself changing to anything else.

 

[Gagster7]

I do too,but I don’t think my new 10x50 are going to fit in my cub

I just ordered the AGC classic for my 12x50s.
I sold two used harnesses here on rokslide this weekend.
AGC has 20% off right now.

Buuuutttt, those Adaks do look sweet LOL

I just switched from AGC Kodiak Cub to the Adak and I couldn't be happier. no zippers, sleek slim and quiet.
Not sure what the weight difference is empty, but I lightened up my load quite a bit moving to the Adak. I probably carried more than I needed to in the AGC.

I can fit my release, a lens cloth, my wind checker and I put some velcro on the bottom of my wind floaters and stuck it to the side opposite my rangefinder. Also I bought some generic ID/badge sleeve and zip tied it to the back of it to hold my tags.

is that a different tether to your rangefinders

 

[Wirrex]

Idk about fit but I found the agc to be obnoxiously big and noisy. The Adak is just about perfect in every way for me.

Yes good catch, I like to be able to quick detach my rangefinder. That one is made by N2Wild on eBay for ~13 bucks (medium size).

I am glad I stumbled onto this thread. I have been looking the last couple of days for a good bino system. I looks like I made the right choice here going with AGC. I really need to upgrade my existing system and I think I have finally made a good choice!

where did you get the ID holder and can you flip it up and post a pick of how its connected

 

[sndmn11]

How would you guys describe the ADAK material as being similar to?

Just two zip ties at the top going to where the straps are sewed on, the back of the badge has the hook side of the velcro so I put some fuzzy velcro backing to prevent any potential scratching noise.

The badge holder was a "wallet" on amazon, there may be a better option. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NCRU33G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Similar to outdoor vision but I think more quiet.

Similar to outdoor vision but I think more quiet.

It’s like a sitka core heavyweight type of material

I have the AGC kiss. My binos armor is really grippy, making it harder to slip them in and out. I just ordered the AGC classic, hoping to alleviate that problem. I just hope I don't find the overall package to big.

 

[Gagster7]

Well I have a AGC cub with max pocket, I may be selling this if my new binoculars don’t fit into it. And it’s also a great pack I love the thing

 

[gregory r]

I wish they made the KISS with the larger interior like the classic. It seems to be if you need a larger pouch, you have to go with all of the pockets.

Well Crap!!! Camo Fire had the Adak on sale today for $99. Looks like I pulled the trigger too soon on the AGC before the sale on the Adak. Way she goes sometimes boys!!
