I've been looking at binocular harnesses for my newly acquired Vortex Razor HD 8x42's.

Vortex, Badlands, Sitka Gear, HornHunter, ALPS, S4Gear and Eberlestock all carry both the shoulder straps (Like a Crookedhorn) or the chest pouch.

Anyone on here have any of these or what are yall using?

My Bushnell Legend HD's came with a shoulder harness...but I like the idea of having the pouch.

FHF gear for 5 years now.

I won't use the elastic harness any more. long story but pay attention climbing over fences. Mine got caught and almost knocked me out, when it came free.

I like Alaska Guide Creations the best. Owner is a great guy to visit with.

I liked the S4Gear harness up until I picked up one of these. It's much more comfortable and protects my binos much better in my opinion.

To bulky for me. FHF is more stream line and fit closer to body. AGC is nice if you like extra pockets

I have AGC's basic version - no bulk/side pockets, etc. Haven't taken it hunting yet but have high hopes for it.

Kuiu all the way. Very lightweight and fits snug and close to the chest. Sitka's older design was awful. I know they have redesigned it since I tried it but I have no reason to switch. I love my Kuiu harness. I have played with the Alaska Guide creation and while it is nice and roomy, it is very bulky. The FHF Bobo talks of I am unfamiliar with but it looks like a great option as well.

I switched from kuiu. With that said I do miss the elastic bottom adaptor of the kuiu. Hell of a feature.

Most bow guys like the FHF and kuiu because it's more stream line then AGC and others. But you probably can't go wrong with anyone of them. The FHF pro model I'm not a fan the inside liner fabric is noisy. I cut mine out

Bunch of good ones hit the market this year. From Alps, Miley freak, redesign Sitka etc.

Geeze. That's much worse than I had imagined...I was thinking "comical" but that just doesn't fill the bill.

Probably good that it's not on Youtube anyway cuz I bet you said some bad words.

So how far did you throw 'em?

Oh I would of laughed my arse off if it wasn't me.
Couldn't get them off, was a little silly for a while. I remember closing my mouth and blowing to see if my mouth had a hole in it. Then walked back to camp after I got my senses. Got cleaned up, took a bunch of Advil and cut the harness off my bino's.

Kind of one of those things that could only happen to me most likely, but none the less I'm highly conscious of The power of elastic now.

Alaska Guide Creations. Just switched from Kuiu harnesses, which are good, but I find the AGC unit to have a bit more utility.

My AGC showed up yesterday in the mail. The owner of AGC is great as stated above me...I emailed back and forth a few times with questions before it arrived.

Will take photos and give opinions soon...but this pack feels very well made
