Compact bino harness

[4IDARCHER]

Looking for any brand that makes a compact Bino harness for the 10X32 (ish) sized binos. A lot of times when I am hunting close to the house and archery hunting I prefer smaller glass, and it would be great to get an equally compact Bino harness to go along with. Something that is just large enough for this type of Bino, and not pressing my marsupial gear 10X42 case into service for.

I haven't tried it personally, but if I ever end up with a pair range finding bino's, I could see going to this. I also usually have a pistol on my chest, but a 380 in my pocket and a pair of rangefinding binos with the harness below would really cut some weight.

It sounds like you may be after some kind of enclosed harness but I’ll throw in a vote for one of the Rick Young harnesses. I use a pair of Maven 8x30’s the majority of the season here attached to one

Another vote for the Rick Young harness. I also am using it with my Maven B3 8x30s. Been happy with it so far, Don't see myself changing.

+1 on the Rick Young - that and Kowa 6.5x32 BD II binos are all I need for archery season.

The old Crooked Horn bino harnesses work pretty well too. Wider straps don't dig into your shoulders.

Rick Young fan here. If you're like me and only need occasional full coverage RY offers a handy lightweight cover in the shower cap style. It's not quick off and on but it works if it's a dusty ATV ride or it's raining. Crooked Horn used to sell a similar cover.

Thanks for the responses everyone, the Rick Young harness was alright for me. I used one years ago, but when I went to a Kuiu and then even better the marsupial gear, I never looked back. I love the fully encased harness and the way it rides on my chest. I just wish there was a micro version for smaller binos that made everything even more compact.

If somebody has something better for the money I’d like to see it

Oregon Pack Works Bino Bro is a decent harness that offers a pouch specifically sized for compacts. They might even have one that would fit 25mm binos.

Rick Young all the way!
Go to the website and see what all you can do with it.
Kowa BD 2 - 10s and 6.5s
I also added the lens cover tether and the rubber dongles to keep the rings from scratching the binos.

This is what I bought and love it! Never knew about the Rick Young and other options, they may be better, but I really like the Kuiu lightweight.

For something enclosed and compact i prefer the Kuiu one way more than the Rick Young. Getting the binos out then covered back up was quite a bit smoother with the Kuiu, the RY one just felt a bit awkward to me
