New SG bino harness is on the way ...

[T_Widdy]

@Formidilosus or anyone else know which size is needed for a Revic 10x42?

Large, I returned the regular, they said all range finding binos should use the large. Still a little snug until it breaks in with the revics.

They recommend the large. It will fit in the regular but will require 2 hands to get the bino in because it will be tight.

Appreciate the help guys.

I got my set. They are great! Bit disappointed the Revic Br4s don't fit in the RF pouch. Other than that. So far so good

I’m sticking with the regular because I like the smaller footprint on my chest. It is snug though.

Thanks, that’s a killer though. Was considering getting one but not if the BR4 doesn’t fit.

I just got mine a few days ago and it's perfect for the way I like it to fit. I got the marsupial as a trade for my SG Skyline harness and within 3 days I sold it and got the sentinel. The marsupial was just too bulky for no reason. Maybe I didn't give it a chance enough but I like the fit of this one much better. I got it with the large pocket and use it for my cell phone and it's great. I didn't really see how the binos in previous version pulled the harness down a little bit but they fixed that with this one.

Also, I know some had concern of the velcro but I think it creates a super solid base that doesn't allow the pockets to move as you're pulling something out. I am extremely happy with it.

Interesting to hear. I emailed and they advised me that the RF Pouch was modified to fit the BR4 before they released it. But are you saying your BR4 doesn’t fit? It might be a couple got out the door that don’t fit. It may be worth reaching out to SG.

I’m swapping to a BR4 this year and that was a question I had.

As noted in my comment above, I was advised via email by SG that the BR4 should fit.

My RF pouch is awful tight though on a smaller rangefinder, so I’m not sure if that a bit of bad information I was given or if there’s some inconsistency on their sizing.

I’m curious what they come out with, the gen 1 was a disappointment to me, but they wouldn’t have to change a lot to make it exceptional, but imo, they missed the mark on gen 1

I use the Kuiu harness… what was the issue with the SG gen 1?

The one I have here certainly does not fit a BR4, and it's new(just arrived). I'll email them now.

RF pouch at max adjustment will not close and ive had to force the RF in to get it to this point.

I can only speak for myself, but the harness was uncomfortable, and could really feel the weight of the binos on your neck. I think I couldn’t get the harness as high as I liked, but not positive. The sentinel seems to be exactly what I was hoping the gen 1 would be.

I think this new version is a good example of refining a product

A new bino harness problem the past couple years since getting the NL pures is that any fleece lined harness develops an obnoxious-problematic squeak with the NL, which is another pro of the SG harness.

My marsupial squeaked so bad that I couldn’t use it archery hunting, the kuiu was not as bad but still annoying, and even my catamount gen 2 squeaks a little after a season of use… the SG will not develop any squeak

Is anyone using a RRS Cinch with the new Sentinel Harness? I have the Large size with Leica Geovid R 10x42 and the Arca of the Cinch wants to get caught on the back plate lip making it tougher to remove.

I have the new wiser ba-7 sparrow mount on my revics and it fits the large pretty well. I think it is lower profile than the rrs and offsets to the center so you might try one

A Kenai can work with it.

But, pistol carry with a bino pack and backpack is still not optimized. The answer is having it mounted to the wings on the right side in a holster that can be taken off, but I haven’t done that with this SG as I require the general purpose pouch.

@Formidilosus - what holster and mounting method is that?

It was a one off.

Does anyone else not like how this only has one strap to the binos? I leave my binos hang quite often with my other harness and having only one strap on the SG makes it awkward. Thinking about seeing if they will sell me a second one.

I’m actually the opposite but I never let them hang from it - I only use it as a safety measure in case I drop them. So I prefer one strap - less to get tangled up

I have a pair of Zeiss 8x40 SFLs and I plan to put a wiser sparrow bino tripod mount on them. Does anyone use the new SG Sentinel bino pack with the Zeiss 8x40 SFLs who could verify which size sentinel bino pack I need? I was thinking the regular size sentinel pack should work but would love confirmation on that. Thanks!

I’m with ya, I will never hang my binos from the tethers and one is all I want, it’s security for a scenario I don’t anticipate ever happening, I am pretty careful with my binos, by far my most babied piece of gear
