Marsupial enclosed or AGC???

I am all about the AGC Bino pouch. I have had several over the last 10+years. Jaret Owens the owner is a personal friend and a great guy. There are a ton of Bino pouches out there these days but I still think his are the best. I have used them in multiple states for Archery, Muzz and Rifle hunting with no issues. AGC is a very solid pack.

I have a few AGC and they are great and very durable. I have used them a lot and really my only complaint is that they open towards me, i knew that when i bought them though and still did because they are a good system. I also have a couple of the Marsupial full enclosure and i like them better because of the foward opening but i kinda feel like they may not be as durable. I have not had them as long so time will tell.

I was looking at these same options about a month ago. I had a AGC KISS Max pouch that I liked everything except the neck strap. I think the KISS is a prefect fit for my SWARO 10x42 EL. But they about max it out in terms of size. The marsupial was nice and I liked the neck strap. I did some experiments and found that the magnets really caused problems with my phone and GPS. I do a lot of my hunting in thick cover - often walking in the dark with only the GPS to guide me. I decided it was not worth the trade off for navigation. I returned the marsupial but ordered a set of their neck straps and buckle delete kit to retrofit my AGC. I am really happy with the AGC - it does everything I need. It is also about the same dimensions as the Marsupial medium but offers more storage options if you like to drop your pack.

As far as size comparison, if you set the AGC Kiss MAX next to the Marsupial Medium they are nearly identical in size. The AGC Kiss without the bottom pocket is definitely smaller in height. I find that the KISS gives way more options for storage if you want - or you can just run it light. I like the side pockets on the KISS better - much easier to get useful items in an out. It's a struggle to get a bigger wind check bottle into the side pockets of the marsupial.
