MuleyFreak Bino Harness by far, has the front rangefinder pouch that is zippered, and the Kuiu opening design for the binos(no zipper or magnets), as well as places for a wind tester, calls, etc, AND has a rain cover to put over the whole thing in bad weather. On top of all that, its very comfortable and affordable :tup:

I have the vortex guide pack and so far I really like it. I've had Kuiu,badlands and a few others but I wanted something that would function as a small pack and carry my essentials like diaphragms, wind detector,license, rangefinder and such. It works great. I like the loop strap that holds the lid down. It's easier for me to access my binos. The only thing I didn't care for were the buckles. Mine wouldn't stay in place so I purchased a few kifaru buckles and they fit perfect. The pack also holds my rangefinder in front. As mentioned it is made by AGC and is made in America!

For all the AGC guys in here, what is the exterior material on them?  Is it waterproof/water resistant?  Will it get water-logged on wet days?

Thanks

It's like a Cordura material. I don't know how waterproof it is but you could probably just spray it down with a silicone spray not a bad idea. Tucked up against my chest it's kind of out of the rain anyhow with a hat and stuff

Mine is definitely not water proof and spraying it with camp dry worked for about 10 min.My Oregon Pack Works bino rig stays pretty dry.But after you pull the binos out a couple of times and let them get wet you are putting them back wet so eventually it seems like everything is wet anyway.
In western Wa. if you aren't going to use the glass during the rain you may as well leave them in the truca

I just ordered and received the AGC pack for fathers day.  Looking forward to giving it a go.

For those that had the badlands, what did you dislike on them,  and which other brand improves on that?  Looking at all options right now.

I have a badlands, and I really like the magnetic closure.  The other plus is that I have used it in downpours and never had by binos get wet.

I have three and they keep my binoculars dry in rainy western Washington.  What is more I have never had any problem w/dust intrusion and I have carried my gear in the bed of a Polaris Ranger and in the back of a pickup on dirt roads where everything is absolutely coated w/dust.  I have given three of them for gifts and the recipients have reported the same.  I have crawled over dead falls and rocks with them betw me and what I have been crawling over and they seem to not suffer.  I like them real well.

+1 more for the Muley Freak bino harness. Upgraded to it for this season and love it so far. Stays very tight to your chest, opens easy, has rangefinder pocket on the front, wind checker/calls pockets, and a zippered pocket for your tags as well. Seems durable, is lightweight, and has all the room needed without being bulky.

FWIW the badlands one is on sale at cabelas for only 80$ right now if you don't mind the real tree pattern because they are no longer making that color

My S4 is in the garbage ! A glorified neckstrap. Almost every pic I see of a guy wearing one the thing is on their neck. Plus the side straps constantly move ! My binos would be pounding me on the stomach every 10 minutes. Went with Alaska guide creations .. Night and day better Bino harness

Yesterday i cut off the bungee strap on the S4.  I sewed on some 1.5" webbing to the shoulder ends to replace the bungee.  We shall see how this works.?..  Im on the verge of pulling the trigger on something new..

I've got 2 of the mules freak harnesses. One in each size. My new glass is still to big for the big harness but they are pretty sweet. I've got one for sale on here. Depending on where you are you can try it out if you want.
