Kuiu Bino Harness
« on: November 26, 2014, 08:44:20 PM »
I haven't played with it to much yet 30 min-hr but I'm impressed, so far.

It holds bino tight to your chest and doesnt move when walking or adjusting a pack. The harness seems well thought out and comfortable.

I plan on playing with it more this weekend out chasing late blacktail.

One of my favorite accessories.   If you haven't watched the setup video, I highly recommend it.  My only complaint, and it's very minor, is the noise when removing the binos from the case.  Seems that the vortex cases and this material make a bit of noise.  Other than that they are just about perfect.

I used them all season this year.  :tup: :tup: I really like how your binos are not on a bungee like most of the systems. I guess my one complaint would be how much of a jumbled mess they can turn into when you take them off. Takes a little bit of fussing to get them straightened out and back in order to put them back on.
Also, towards the end of the seasons, my straps seemed to begin to start slipping through the buckles up on top by the binos, letting the binos slide down and become too slacked.  I ended up having to just tie them.

I like mine. I don't use the case much only the strap unless I figure I wont be glassing for a while. Very well thought out design

I've had my kuiu bino case for two seasons.  My biggest and only complaint, they DON'T keep my bino's completely protected.  Today for example, they are wet (no big deal) but they fog up when wet and pine needles were on my glass.  I do like the one hand operation and how tight they feel against my chest, they don't move or bounce around. They are also very light, if I had to rate them, I'd give them a 7 out of 10.  If they protected 100% I'd give them a 10.  Pine needles are all over the inside of my case!

Love my kuiu harness. Very nice for holding my bow in one hand and opening and replacing my binos with the other hand. I absolutely hate having to set my bow down to get a quick look through my binos when in the field. The Kuiu harness is GREAT for that.

Plus I feel like a ninja in Vias  :chuckle:

I do have to agree with Trophyhunt as it does tend to fill up with debris but really hasn't caused me any problems so far.

I had the same problem trophyhunt but I pulled the bungee taut and that held the cover over the eyepiece.

I really like how these things hold the binos to the body. There is no bounce, shift or movement.
They are also really comfortable with a pack. I am wondering why it took me so long to fork over the dough...

Have any of you used or compared it to the Badlands case? I really like it, when just messing with it at the store, but I have not used it....  Which is better???

I had the badlands bino case prior to getting the kuiu harness. I thought the badlands was way to bulky but some guys like it. I have the xl kuiu and it is less bulky than the badllands and I like it way better but thats just my personal preference. If you want one better order it soon to have it for next season. My buddy has been waiting on his for 3 months. Lots of backorders with the popularity of Kuiu gear.
