How do you carry binos?

How does she like it?

We haven't done much with it, we both got sick over the holidays so we didn't get to snowshoe and hike like we planned. We got it fit up to where it hands more properly/comfortably on her front side though.

My wife seems to like the older style harnesses with elastic straps that cross in the back. I think Votex and others have something similar or PM me. They can ride lower just below their chest and quite comfortable I think for ladies. The other option is carrying lighter binoculars on a short neck strap. I something like 7x26, 8x25 or 10x25. The strap should just barely fits over her head. They don’t swing around and are very handy to use and not enough weight to wear her out. Good luck

Lady here that bowhunts and yes those are the comfiest for us. We come from the factory with parts in front already so a huge bino pack is just awkward or in the case of archery gets in the way of the shot.
Ladies with not quite so much from the factory sometimes use the smaller bino harnesses.
Just kinda a common sense thing really.

I honestly love my Stone Glacier bino harness (I believe its the gen 1, before they updated the straps and stuff). It's light, adjustable, and low profile enough that I can still shoot my recurve while wearing it with my binos 10x swaro's and the rangefinder pocket!

*Side note: with this set up I am able to adjust it and carry my .357 in my GunFightersInc Kenai Holster as well and still be comfortable! Which for me is a big plus!

I am not a woman (pun on that video years ago RE the lawyer "I am not a cat")

Anyhow, I use two solutions:

1. Opted to buy a v high quality Leica range finder because it's light, fast to grab right off my backpack chest strap, fantastic optics w/6X magnification which works v well in most situations. I use this 90+% of the time
2. Chest harness with 10x binos

If going into an area that offers long distance sighting opportunities (over 1 mile), I'll pack a spotting scope

My wife never really seemed to like getting used to a bino harness on her chest all day while hiking.

She keeps a set of Meopta 8x32s in a padded fanny pack she sewed herself out of codura.
