Title: Bino Harness!!!
Post by: Mtnwalker on March 31, 2017, 08:21:33 PM: I'm wanting to try a light-ish bino harness that has a pocket for my rangefinder. It needs to fit a pair of 10x42 ultravids and a Leica rangefinder and nothing else. Looking at the something like Alaska guide creations or maybe the new muley freak harness, anybody have any input??

Or go FHF. I also have a FHF and the straps are smaller but I like the lid of the AKG more. No worries with either they have sizes to fit you.

This is what I have , and like that it is simple, and the top flap folds away from your chest .

Post by: Mtnwalker on April 01, 2017, 09:42:02 AM: I notice people keep mentioning adding the fhf pouch to the AGC harness, anybody running the AGC CUB harness that already has the front pocket included? Thoughts? It looks functional but looks kinda bulky

It's not bulky at all. Came a lot smaller than I thought. Fits 10x42 leupold Mojave and my leupold 1200 perfect. Not a lot of wasted space. I also have a havalon piranha in one of the little side pockets

Post by: jjness11 on April 05, 2017, 07:47:59 AM: I really like my Kuiu harness. It is comfortable, stays in tight to my chest, and works great for archery or rifle. And I can get my binos out with one hand. I can only compare it to Badlands, Sitka and Vortex's harness', but Kuiu gets my vote.

Post by: Buckhunter28 on April 05, 2017, 01:44:28 PM: I'm gonna give one to the MuleyFreak harness, it's a prettyl slick rig for carrying binos and your rangefinder. It opens just as how the Kuiu one does, away from your body and there are no zippers or magnets or any of that stuff that can make noise or get damaged. Also, the rangefinder pouch is a zip close, but it keeps your rf safe from any and all weather. It'v extremely comfortable, light, and holds a nice tight fit to your body, and it comes with a rain fly to go over the whole system! I also like how the binos tether to the harness, as they are attached on a separate tether that connects to the harness, where as the Kuiu tethers are apart of the harness. In all, it comes to personal preference but I really like the MuleyFreak one :twocents: :tup:

Post by: Mtnwalker on April 05, 2017, 02:16:48 PM: Thanks for the review on the muley freak buckhunter, ordered mine Monday so hopefully it'll ship soon! Looked to be just a little bit lighter than the ACG so we'll see how I like it

Post by: andersonjk4 on April 05, 2017, 02:39:52 PM: I've also been considering running a Nino harness, but have been hesitant because I worry having the harness straps under a backpack all day will be uncomfortable. For people who run a Nino harness under a pack all day, how do the harnesses feel under a backpack?

My Badlands I don't notice anything bothersome. The binocular harness and the day pack straps are not on top of each other though.

I'm running the AGC CUB as well. It holds my Razor 10x42 and the Sig Kilo up front. Not bulky at all.

Now that is a pretty neat looking unit. I may have to have one of those.

Post by: Mtnwalker on April 10, 2017, 04:38:46 PM: Just got my muley freak harness in the mail, so far so good. Fits my 10x42 ultravids and Leica RF like it was made for them, a tiny bit snug but I think just right after I use it a few times. Very lightweight and compact, only time will tell on durability. I like all the adjustability and the tether system works great with my particular binos too. So far I give it an A
