Forward Opening Bino Harness

[wyodan]

I am looking for the bino harness that is front opening with the stretch material for the lid, with no magnets. I saw it posted on here somewhere, and now I can't find the thread. Thanks

Kuiu opens forward.
Just uses elastic for closure when they're not being used.

Wow, I've never heard of these guys. I just bought the Kuiu two days ago, but would have considered these guys if I had known.

I bought one and the rangefinder pouch to try out. First impression is good, I like the lid on the bino pouch and the harness seems fine. I went with the M and it's snug but not overly so on Maven B2's. Not sure I'm going to like the closure system on the rangefinder pouch but time will tell.

What's the closure for the RF pouch like?

How come the magnet closure is not preferred? I use a badlands and like it. What am I missing?

It messes with a compass or your gps. How much I am not sure, but a friend here that has one says significantly. I would just rather not have those errors.

It is just a stiffer tail on the flap that tucks into a slot on the pouch. Seems secure enough unless the pouch was mounted upside down but also like it would be a real b*@& to close with gloves on.

What are the issues you notice with magnetic?
