I have a AGC kiss that I love. It's got smaller pockets for calls and tags. Not bulky, doesn't move around. Easy and quiet access.

My dad has the s4 and when bush whacking he'd get debris in the harness.

I have 10x32's myself, Nikon EDG, and Nikon was kind enough to include a nice neck strap for the hefty price tag. Its all I need to wear them comfortably. I take them off and put them in the case and then into my backpack when I gotta hike.

holy crap the current version is $3,000+!  :yike:

Dude - Nikon EDG binoculars run ~$2,300-$2,500 unless you walk into some place in Sedona or Whistler that also sells Tiffany jewelry, Prada scarves, Louis Viton purses and such.

I think i paid $625 for mine (first gen).  :IBCOOL:

I was so nervous I called the cops before handing over cash and had them run the serial number through NCIC to see if they were hot  :yike:

I have a Kuiu and FHF, both are nice but the FHF keeps the debris out better.
Shut up and Hunt!

I use the Kuiu for 10x32 swaro's. It works really well. I can put them in and take out one handed. I did a lot of research before I bought the Kuiu. Happy with how it performs.

There are so many options you should try to use some of the different ones before you buy.

Regards, Branden

Thank you for the feedback. The Kuiu and FHF look good but I'd like to see one in person and try them out.
I grabbed an S4 lockdown micro because the price was right and options were slim.  I'll give it a try.

The only other options at Sportsman Warehouse was the Tenzing which I did not like and the badlands. I love badlands and wanted to like the bino case but when it is open it will be in the way to draw my bow. For rifle it would work great. I was gonna hit Hooked on Toys and see if they have anything.

Any other stores in Wenatchee I can check?

I don't think you'll find any of the FHF, KUIU, AGC versions in a store anywhere. Roll the dice or throw a dart at a board or whatever. They're all good quality. Try one out and see what you think. If you don't like it, selling it slightly used wouldn't be a problem. I went with the Alaska Guide Creations KISS too. Love it. I was apprehensive at first because I thought it might get bulky and in the way but it doesn't. And the extra little pockets are super handy.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I use about a 5 foot strap hanging over my neck and one shoulder. with the binos on my right hip. I absolutely hate the chest harness hook ups.
