Which bino harness?

[buglebuster]

So who's got experience with each? Looking into buying and not sure what to get. Sitka, kuiu, badlands, hornhunter, fhf?

I picked up an FHF harness last year and have been very pleased.  Badlands are nice but pricey.  Didn't like the function of the kuiu.  I have heard the sitkas have magnet issues.  Eberlestock nose gunner looks interesting but without being able to see it in person I was a bit shy.  It looks bulky.  I wish the FHF had more coverage on the side but besides that its great.  I like supporting companies like that too

I have an fhf now and had a agc one this year also. They both worked good but the fhf is less bulky and is very functional, I added the rangefinder pouch to go with it and it works great too.

I've owned/used them all. Sitka for me.

Out of the systems you listed I have only used the FHF and the Badlands. I like the FHF one better than badlands.

If you want a badlands bino harness I will sell you the one I have sitting in my garage for 75 dollars.

Of all the ones I have tried out I prefer the Kuiu but havent tried them all. Pic is with my Oregon blacktail from 2014. nwhunter

Couple of my friends have the badlands, they love them.  I have had the kuiu for the past two seasons.  The badlands completely protect the bino's from the elements, my kuiu's let in pine needles and moisture.  I have never tried the fhf, but the kuiu are easily used with one hand.  The kuiu are also smaller and lighter than the badlands.  I prefer the kuiu.

Thinking about getting an OregonPackworks  Bino Bro Pro. They get pretty good reviews.
The Eberlestock one is getting crummy reviews because of its size. It's apparently rather huge.

Biggest problem I'm having is convincing myself I want one of those things strapped to my chest. They look handy but I'm not sure I can deal with having to put my bino's back in there case every time I'm done using them.  Dozens of hunters can't be wrong though, so I assume I'll get used to it.

i felt the same as you and went with a simple cabela's shoulder harness.  It's fine for good weather but a pain in the neck if there is any rain or snow or trees dripping.  I've been eyeing the fhf

Kuiu for me, no bouncing around or harness creep up your back and a nice little pocket for my wind sniffer. Even comes with a water proof cover

That's why I have the Cabelas one light weight and small.
