Owned AGC for 6 years now and had in very wet conditions and never had wet Binos. You could even treat the material itself for even more protection

Kuiu does the job, if glassing in heavy rain a big brim hat helps.   Don't use any bino covers just the kuiu holder.

Out of all the different binocular systems I've had, my favorites for westside hunting are the S4 lockdown and the RYO ultra light harness.  The S4 is nice because it's quiet and keeps the rain off your binoculars with sort of a shell.  The downside is that the harness is kind of cheesy and tends to ride up on your back.

The RYO harness doesn't have any case but it can be worn several different ways.  When hunting in the brush I set it up to "side saddle" where I have my binoculars tucked under my left arm out of the elements, or I can conveniently put them in the front pocket of my vest and cover them with the flap.
you can still get gas in heaven, and a drink in kingdom come,
in the meantime, i'll be cleaning my gun

Kuiu pro harness, best system I’ve used and no issues with soaking through
:yeah: I used to keep my binos inside my jacket but found myself getting wet pretty fast and by body heat would fog up my lenses. Switched up to a kuiu harness years ago and the issue went away. Any covered harness would work. I've tried all the different sprays and wipes for fog and they do ok but not 100%. I don't think anything will be 100% on this side. As far as droplets go it'll be impossible to stop them unless you stay in your truck lol just get yourself a good microfiber lense cloth and wipe em off  :tup:

I’ve also carried mine on a harness inside my rain coat, which as you stated leads to wet chest from unzipping and taking the binos in and out. On real wet days sometimes they have to stay out. I was considering Kuiu holder as an option. Now I’m really leaning that way
