Which bino harness?

[jackelope]

I will give you my s4 lockdown! garbage!! its a neck strap and the lower elastic straps come loose every 30 min. If the harness rides up on your neck its not doing what its suppose to do.

Im looking at the fhf, vortex and Alaska guide gear is probably tops on my list as buddy just got one and it looked lik eit will function like it should.

Vortex doesn't make one.

thats odd...wonder what harness Matzinger is using in his show..Its got a Vortex emblem on the front of it. Looked like a nice harness and is never riding up in his neck

FHF with the Vortex logo. Same deal as Steven Rinella.

[huntnnw]

ahh! makes sense

Vortex should make a harness!

Haven't had this issue with mine, maybe I have an earlier or later version.  Wish I was closer to you because I would definitely take them off your hands.

Steve rinella I'd using a fhf harness just has a vortex patch on it, I asked him about it.

The s4 seems to work fine on lighter binos, but mine are heavier and it just pulls the harness right up to your neck and the side straps just work loose with hiking and its a constant pulling on them to tighten them

I am with Jackalope, hate the damn things. Tried 2 sets. Like a straight jacket.
I made a strap about 6-7 feet long throw it over my neck and shoulder/pack, glass on my high back, pulls around easy, no binding, no damn lump of crap on my chest, I can use em laying down, let em go they fall out of the way, sometimes I tuck em inside my coat.
I think I still have a set, of the harness with a cover for the glasses if anyone wants it.

Well...I don't hate them...

   "  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."

OK "hate" was a little strong for you, but not me.

I have the Badlands Bino, the Lockdown bino, and the Nimrod. I like the Badlands and all the options in it, but I wish it were designed to interface and act as the chest strap for their packs. It's too bulky to use with a full day pack while shooting archery. Badlands is great when not hunting in a day pack, like out of a blind. Or for taking on a day hike or scouting trip without the bow. I like the Lockdown, which I used this year for the first time. The shoulder straps are comfortable and it wears well with a day pack for archery. I've had the Nimrod for years and the straps are now stretching out. But, it's low profile and doesn't get in the way of other equipment and I used it for about 10 years. I think it's a close second behind the Lockdown.

FHF is a quality rig. Stable, extra pockets, if you gotta boogey you can secure them quick.

Ran the crooked horn for years... Recently bought the nimrod system.. Love it they don't bounce near as much

[buglebuster]

I ended up with the horn hunter and so far I love it
