Stone Glacier Sentinel Bino Harness Experience?

[lifeisgoodsteve]

Hi All,

Did anyone run the Sentinel harness for a full season last year? Impressions, likes, dislikes?

Thx

It’s the best system I’ve tried.

The only thing I don’t love is that sometimes the little plastic cable tightener on the bottom can rub. I push it out of the way and it seems to be fine, so not a massive deal.

I ran it and like it a lot. Had a Marsupial before. The only con of the Sentinel system is the velcro attach points on both sides of the main pouch. Sometimes I don't want to run a side pocket, so when you don't you have an exposed velcro attachment point. But most of the time I have a rangefinder on one side and the side pocket on the other (which is large enough to hold my cell phone and other small gear).

Steve-I did. hands down nothing comes close. Super light, the material is excellent, quiet and true one hand opening.

I’m considering buying and switching from my badlands harness. My only concern is the velcro noise

I started w a Kuiu pro, then enclosed Marsupial, now SG

Kuiu wasn’t comfortable for me by the end of the day, but worked ok, no where to put extra magazines

Marsupial magnets sent me blundering through a blowdown hell hole by messing w OnX, never again will I have magnets.

I used the Stone Glacier all last summer and through the fall seasons, it is excellent. The wings keep accessory add ons high and tight, zero issue w Velcro noice. The magazine sleeve keeps extra mag and kestrel exactly where I need them. It carries weight well, in fact it is easy to make it too heavy.

I have two issues w the SG. First, the Velcro on the body side of the harness has pointy tips right on my nips. I have taped over these w foot tape and it is more or less a non issue now.

Second issue is I use an arca device that secures to the bell of my binoculars, this is a problem. The arca piece prevents the binoculars from being lifted straight out of the harness, I have to twist the binos to get it out from under the rear piece that adjusts the flap height. I could likely solve this by using a thin piece of plastic sewed over the height adjustment, or just find a different Arca adapter

The Velcro makes no noise once you've attached accessories. Very quiet.

Thanks for the insight on this, that was really my only concern

I would order one right now if they came in blaze. Instead likely will be stuck with a FOB

Not to hijack the thread, but has anyone had experience with holster attachments or mods with the SG sentinel?

I'm in the same boat and want to go with the SG, but on my previous bino harness I made a holster that went behind the Alaska guide bino harness. It worked well, but the velcro wings appear like that wouldn't be an option with the Sentinel.

I use the one from Eberlestock, it's great. I especially like that the main flap opens forward and stays open

My favorite harness out of the ones I’ve tried by a lot. I’ve tried marsupial, fhf, kifaru, and SG gen 1.
