I can't speak for the Sitka but KUIU XL Bino Harness comes in at 7.5oz. I am using a pair of Zeiss 10x45 with the built in range finder and a pair of Swarovski 8.5x42. The KUIU system is soft and easy to use, I can get my binoculars out with one hand if I need to and put them back into the pouch with one hand as well, The system is very comfortable it does not put any stress on the back of my neck like some other systems have done in the past. They are easy to adjust too, if you like your binoculars tight against your body or set them up so they can swing a little. I have shot my bow with KUIU Bino Harness on several time and not one issue with the string of the bow coming in contact with my binoculars. I would have to say that the KUIU Bino System is the best one I have tried so far, I would not make any changes to the system.
The only other Bino Systems that I tried, the Badland Bino System it was comfortable but it was to big and bulky, I also tried the S4 Bino System I did care for that much either, comfort was ok but it did not protect the binoculars very well, it was very easy to access my binoculars with the S4. I also tried the Nimrod Bino System, It put a lot of stress on my neck and it did not protect the binoculars at all.
I hope this helps
Sitka one is 12+ oz.
I really like the Alaska Guide Creation bino chest pack, been using them for years room for more than just binos, rangerfinder, gps camera license a couple rounds etc.. The regular size fits most binos and the Large is a perfect fit for my Swaro EL ranging binos. He changed the harness and it is now even more comfortable and works well with my pack. Comes in several patterns including Kryptek highlander and yeti.
