I have the new Kuiu bino harness and highly recommend it. I have used other types and have seen some of the others mentioned here and for me Kuiu has them beat. Your glasses are enclosed and protected but easy to get out and zero bounce. It is a little bulky but not nearly as bulky as the badlands setup. I have zeiss rangefinder binos so they are kind of heavy and bulky anyways so it doesnt bother me and I have to have the xl size so the large would be a little less bulky Im sure. I waited almost 4 months to get mine as they are very popular and behind in production so if you want some I would get them ordered up soon. I hunted all fall with my binos tucked in my shirt and coat waiting for the Kuiu setup and it was worth the wait. nwhunter

I use the Nimrod binotopia system with harness and pouch. Works great . You can keep your bumps in the mouch to keep them protected or attach them directly to the harness for quick access. They are made in washington and a green company. Great customer service . Your welcome to check mine out if interested sometime. I have a new lockdown harness too if your interested.

Have the nimrod set up too. Wish the harness attached to the pouch different. With just the two connection points at the top of pouch, it can still flop around a little.
I'm just picky. Nimrod has cool gear though

Almost always have a pack on & bino harness. No issues.
not sure you want your binos on your backpack straps. Seems like they would shift around too much. Plus i ditch my pack if doing a sneak, but still need binos.

My son and I both have the bino harness from Fish Hunt Fight Gear, absolutely love them, one of those products that when you get it, you actually are dumbfounded that you ever operated without it.

I'm going to look hard at one of these pretty soon.

Timberhawk packs have a built in bino harness. No good. If you take your pack off, so goes your bino's.

I also love the badlands bino case.  Never had a problem but when I first bought mine they were 40$

I am fortunate to own a pair of Nikon EDG 10x32s. In addition to the outstanding glass and comparatively wide field of view, they are light and small enough to work just fine with the included, cushioned neck strap.
