Quick marsupial gear harness review

[Ndbowhunter]

Been in the market for a new bino system harness for a while now. This is my 3rd setup I've played with since April. I gave away my shit vortex in Nz this spring.

Binoculars are meopta meostar hd 10x42.. size small bino harness.

The good: quality construction, stitching looks great, seems built to last. Made by a tax paying American. One handed operation. Well thought out design, you don't need to fiddle with it during operation. A good setup for guys who use tripod a lot. Opens the right way and I really like the magnet design system. Nice and stiff, holds shape.

The bad: open sides and a lot of room between top of bino and the lid

Buckle and strap system is way overkill for my needs. I don't love the odd angles for the top attachment on the harness.. And it's a bit heavy on the scale.

Edited:

i'll keep them. As much as I think there's room for improvement in a fully enclosed system and I will upgrade when that happens, they are the best current system. Kuiu sucks for tripod use, acg is a monstrosity, fhf opens the wrong way and all others seem too funky to really consider.

I apologize for writing a review too early. As my buddy says, I have too much time and money on my hands. Lol

Have you tried the Outdoor Vision harness yet? I love it myself. It the best out of the 3 I have had the last 2 years. It does not have a pocket for a range finder but I dont need one. I keep it on the lower right strap in the range find harnnes. What I likt the most about it the Outdoor Vision harness is the fit. This thing fits me perfect. The straps and buckles are sized nice and I would say on the small side. That said I think this it one of the reason it fits me so well. Honestly, its the first harness I have used that stays put all day on me. YMMV

I'm way way way too sweaty to wear that thing on my back.

Seems like a solid setup though.

The only other strange thing is how is "lite" heavier then the regular one?

To be perfectly honest, my needs for a bino the next 12 months will be pretty mild and I have buyer fatigue.. it happens. Lol

Just ordered the the medium rig in coyote brown for my 15x50s. Added the range finder pouch and got free shipping. I had a question on size and the owner called me back same day. That carries some weight to me. If I like it and the medium is way too big to also fit my 10x42s then I plan to order just the small pouch to have one for each. Thanks for the review.
