I have used multiple models and stuck with my agc the last few years and don’t plan on changing. Bought my old man one this year for our elk hunt and he loved it too. I like being able to keep all my essentials in it so if I drop my pack for a stalk I am good to go.

Hill People Gear. I carry my 10x42 swaros. My hand gun, kestrel, headlamp, gloves and spare shells all in my chest pack. Not a thing about it I would change

I'm stoked on the adak bino harness. Easy one handed acess for both range finder and binos. Completely silent material. They sell em on camofire.com for 79 bucks. Worth every penny. Definitely doesn't have a pocket big enough for a headlamp. Not really sure why you'd need quick acess to a headlamp though...

I packed AGC Hybrid with 10x42 and rangefinder for 3 years and would change nothing. Got new Kuiu XL with new 10x42 ranging binoculars and don't like it nearly as much.  Opens the wrong way in my opinion.  Harder to slip binos in and out.  I even called AGC to see if I could get a custom larger size to fit ranging binoculars without all the pockets.  No luck.  I should have stuck with AGC in larger size and removed the pockets or just not filled them.

I just bought this one. The holster isn’t that good but the Nosegunner holds my Vortex Vultures fine.
I run a Gunrunner pack so this is a good add on.

You have a couple options that I’ve seen or heard about in the last year. Probably more but check out this one...

As far as Bino harnesses I’ve tried a lot of them: badlands, fhf, muleyfreak, AGC, vortex, and currently a kuiu.

My take away is it depends what you want in a bino harness. My preference may not meet yours but what I found I like in a bino harness is a low profile, fully enclosed to keep debris out and a lid that opens away from your chest that can be manipulated with one hand.

Figure out what your looking for in a bino harness and search out the one that meets your criteria’s. An AGC sounds like it would be a good fit for what you described and is a well built and proven bino harness.

I'm not sure there is something in between the 25 to $50 price range and then it moves up to the $200 price range. I have Alaska guide Creations hybrid harness and I have a new outdoor Vision harness and I like the outdoor Vision harness way better the lid is magnetic and it flips forward rather than backward toward you and it just seems to work way better for me.

Only problem with that magnet is that it screws with your compass.

The magnet is the size of a quarter and seams like you would have to hold the compass so close to screw with it besides how many actual hunters still use a compass I asked some guys at a near by camp last year who got “ momentarily bewildered” why not just use a compass and was shocked not a single person in there camp used a compass or even carried one . Then asked some people in our elk camp and a few people didn’t even know how to use one made me laugh my dad drilled it into us and I alsways have one no matter how far the walk is

Only problem with that magnet is that it screws with your compass.
