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.
I run the SG Sentinel that came out last year, I also use the ballistic sleeve mounted on my off hand side, the bottom pocket with my “shit, Hunts over, head to the truck” kit, and their other accessory pocket on my strong side with head lamp, lighter, snack, and other random stuff. I was using an FHF harness, maybe their first or second gen prior to this. The sentinel carries far better, weighs less to start, and is able to hold way more in it for immediate access. It would suck, but I could make it 24 hours with what’s in my bino harness. Also, carrying anything on your front side as a woman is different than it is for men, idc what anyone says. If I’m not carrying binos during backpacking trips in the summer or fishing, I use a standard kit bag from HPG that I love also. I know Form and others have commented about it being a “chest harness” not a belly harness, but any chick that’s tried to mount a bino truly on their chest has either been miserable or lying. It’s just not comfortable to run around squashed by a harness and carrying weight there. I choose to run my harness lower under my anatomical pillows. I’ve found this to be a PITA when shooting prone, because you have to slide it forward and that’s a time sacrifice, but I’ll eat that time to be comfortable the other 90% of a hunt. I recently attended the S2H winter course and I can say I never felt uncomfortable or hindered by my harness. I haven’t had it for a bow season yet, so not sure about drawing with it on, but I could draw with my FHF in the same spot and the sentinel is far less bulky. For reference, I run the Vortex Fury 10x42 RF Binos in my sentinel without issue.
