Title: MULEY FREAK BINO HARNESS
Post by: Crunchy on June 21, 2023, 06:33:29 PM: Just looking for input on anyone that has the game changer bino harness system. I might be in the market, and thought I would ask before buying for real world experience with it.

Only thing is I haven’t had a chance to get out in the rain with it yet. I think it’ll perform well now that I figured out the adjustments for opening and closing the lid but we’ll see this fall.

I won't buy from Black Ovis or Camofire because they carry MF products and have refused to make a statement on their partnership with MF. Compare that to GoHunt who has publicly stated that they are selling their inventory and then no longer carrying MF products.

2017 Utah Conviction - brief attached

It looks quite similar to a Marsupial harness, I would look into that one. I like my Stone Glacier harness as well.

Marsupial offers a non magnetic version of their harness now…

Marsupial makes one of the best bino harnesses IMO
