Title: Looking for a good bino case
Post by: Eric M on April 21, 2016, 11:39:05 AM: In the winter I usually tuck them in my coat but as I use binos more and more. I think I'd like to get one of those cases you strap around onto your chest. Any suggestions?

Post by: X-Force on April 21, 2016, 03:40:20 PM: I have used Kuiu and AGC and for the price Kuiu is a nice system (but for an extra $5-$15 you can get a US made harness).

The negative of the Kuiu is that you get pine needles in the case as they fall between the case and your body. Every couple days I would have to take out the binos and dump the case contents.

AGC seem bomb proof. I haven't had them out in the woods as much as my Kuiu's but I like having the binos free from the case so don't have to remove the case when glassing from different positions or from a tripod.

Great options between Kuiu, AGC and FHF
