How does AGC Bino Harness fit your body?

[czimm]

Hello All, I am interested in a AGC Bino Harness but I am a little worried that it will not fit snugly and up high enough on my body. I like to have my Bino Harness pretty high up on my chest. I am a pretty tall skinny guy (6'2" 160). Can you guys chime in on how they fit your body? and if you don't have a AGC but you are skinny what Bino Harness does fit snugly for you? Thanks in advance.

They ride pretty low even when you’ve taken up all the slack. There’s better options imo. Marsupial is my favorite that I’ve tried to date.

AGC's Ultralight harness is what you want. It brings the pack up higher, on the sternum.

I had the Kodiak cub maxx, I'm 5'10 and had it snugged up pretty high. Will be no issue forMaxx,

I did sell it for a marsupial, but that was just to cut weight.

I wear my FHF high and it fits snuggly. But I have no experience with AGC

The AGC is hard to snug up high. I'm a small skinny dude with the kodiak cub max harness. I love the harness but it doesn't fit great. I still like it though.

I had the AGC with the standard harness. It would hang low, no matter what. I replaced the harness with the ultralight one listed above. It now rides as high and as securely on my chest as I want it to. Huge improvement with the new harness.

Before I got the new harness I was going to sell off the AGC, but I don’t think I ever will now.

ahhh I see, I have not run into this at all during my research. thank you!

I found my AGC bino harness fits well, like you, i like wearing it high on my chest. It's very comfortable, no matter the weather conditions. I also have the AGC holster mounted on it, so even with that add on, the harness never gets in the way, whether shouldering my rifle, drawing my bow, or scrambling up a hill/mountain.

this is great info, really appreciate it. I never saw anyone talking about this issue and this ultralight harness through all my research before posting on here. so thank you very much.

I was able to get mine as high on my chest I was wanted. I hate a loose sagging harness.

But, I swapped out the straps / harness portion for a Marsupial gear set to do it. I also swapped the buckles that connect the straps to the bag with Kifaru KClips to get that last little extra pick up. You could use the Marsupial buckle delete connections as well.

I loved my AGC set up once I made these changes, but just got the Marsupial Gear bino harness to change it up this year.

Agree with the above on the ultralight harness.

Before they released it I created a Franken—harness with a Marsupial Gear strap system and the AGC bag. Works very well.

On my AGC I replaced the top buckles with Kifaru K-Clips and it helped bring it up high where I like it. Got rid of 2"+ of buckle.

Smart. I might do the same.

I'll try to grab a pic today. Its been a few years since I did it, think I used a ladder loc up top and then just ran the strap through the K-Clip.

EDIT - never mind I found it. do you know if they still sell the k-clip? I didn't see on their website.
