I've been using the old style Kuiu harness for years and it's been pretty good. Looking at the Kuiu Pro and Alaska Guides Creations Denali. Anyone have any experience or recommendations? Will be used with Swaro SLC 15s.

No experience with anything quite that big. But I’ve had AGC for 10X42s and I didn’t like it nearly as much as the outdoor vision ridge top. I recently sold my OV and replaced it for another size to fit my new 10x42 UHD razors. They’re closer in physical size to 12x50s than 10x42s. The OV harness is very sleek, rides great, it’s quiet and the forward folding lid is so much more convenient than the rear.

There are many too choose from. I personally like a minimalist style. Kuiu Pro, Muley Fanatic. I'm using an AGC right now and I agree, I dont like the lid folding into my body instead of away from my body. Also, the AGC does not have enough adjustability in the shoulder straps that attach to the pack and the pack hangs lower than I like. I've noticed several of the newer packs look like they run out of adjustability in their videos. So keep an eye out for that. Fatrascal.

Changed from the Marsupial to Kuiu Pro for my Maven B2's. Very happy with the harness overall. Nothing I don't really like about it. I like the opening to flip forward so that narrows the market for me greatly. Luckily the few forward opening harnesses on the market are very well made. I would highly recommend either harness i mentioned but would give the nod to Kuiu just because it fully encloses the binoculars.

Kuiu pro or the Outdoor Vision are your two best choices for your stated purpose and history. I started with a Kuiu a few years ago, went through some other harnesses, and settled on the OV.

I run the AGC cub. For a one and done do it all it’s hard to beat. Let’s me carry my 10x42’s, rangefinder, petzl e-lite, windchecker, tags, cell phone. It does seem to stick out further than I’d like at times. Hasn’t let me down yet but on the lookout for something a little more streamlined.

My only experience is with the Outdoor Vision, but I couldn't be happier after getting it in the field for a few hunts.

I use the Kuiu and personally love it - I do have some friends that complain about it being bulky and kind of noisy if you ever plan on using it whitetail hunting, or anything close quarters, etc. However - if you're guiding, I recommend any of the badlands bino harness' because you can take your binos out and hand them off to your client or easily pass them off for others to look as the binoculars are free floating in your harness with no straps or clips atttached!

AGC. Holds high on my chest like I like, doesn’t sag forward over the course of the day.

I ended up getting an AGC from the classifieds here. Made in the USA and looks like itll cover my needs nicely. Thanks for the recommendations.

I wish marsupial would hurry and put out the new fully enclosed harness!

I've been running the AGC for a couple of years. I have the ADAK on its way due to its lower profile. The AGC is ok but much bulkier than I'd like.

I ran the AGC for the last two years and recently switched to an ADAK. So far I'm really liking the way the adak opens away from the body and find that the harness is more comfortable for some reason. I do wish that it had a back side pocket like the AGC.
