Got mine a few days ago, and had a chance to mess with it a bunch and do a day of scouting as well.
Real happy with it-worth the wait for sure. I’m not gonna geek out and do a “review”, not my style.
I will say that I own the following chest harnesses-Kuiu, AGC, and FHF. Like all of them for different reasons.
The FFD combines all the things I like and seemed to purposely design this rig without the things most of us complain of about others.
A few of those would be:
Lid/cover is soft enough not be a bulky and in the way, doesn’t self close on me, and doesn’t “tuft” at the edges when closed or open. Guessing the material cut outs do this.
My favorite feature
The access panel for pistol-it has a sewn in “handle” that is angled and self supported for a one hand fast grab deployment, and stays open for one handed proper grip establishment right out of the pocket. For you salty military guys, it’s similar to how the old school ALICE packs had the black webbing strap on our shoulder straps that with one pull opened one handed (for dumping pack rapidly/waterborne ops/swim qual)
The fit is great. Stays snug to the body whether bent over, drawing bow or running.
Finally, the one concern I had was by stacking the pistol and binos, would it be too thick on my chest? After several shooting sessions with my bow, and several hikes taking my backpack off and on, no concern at all. This harness loaded with my G43 and Leupold 8x42 and even my G19 and 8x42 are not any deeper than my Kuiu or AGC harness which has binos only.
This is now gonna be my archery elk set up, and I’m hoping they pump out the larger harness soon so I can grab one for when I’m in Grizz country and carry my G20 and 10x50’s.
As I mentioned when I got their glassing blanket-I have no affiliation with this company, other than being glad to support a fellow veteran who’s been downrange.
