    1+ for kuiu, the most comfortable and compact one I've used.

    Been looking for a while and want one I can have a range finder, map, compact camera in too. Looks like the Alaska Guide Creations is the answer. US$80, cannot see why I shouldn't

    Just order a couple of Alaska Guide Creations bino packs. Must say the level of service is top notch! Dealing directly with Jaret Owen(via email), and found the comments on the US and Europe based forums to be true, cannot beat good old fashion service with a smile. Fast replies too.

    Shipping tomorrow and roughly a week based on previous shipments.

    Here it is Home :: Alaska Guide Creations by Jaret Owens :: Home of the Bino Chest Pack

    Name: IMG_0505.jpg Views: 1726 Size: 855.6 KB

    The radio and range finder shown must be small as I m not sure mine would fit.

    Some ammo, compass, phone, lighter and stuff would for sure...

    I've ordered a s4 gear lockdown x.
    Been looking at the full cover cases but their more than I need. I would still run with the basic bino harness I have if it didn't let the binos swing around so much when I have to move it.

    Had a couple of the Alaska Guide Creation bino packs turn up today. Must say, pretty nice and functional!

    Handwritten note from Jaret, wanting to know if they suit our needs and if there is any else he can help with. Few extra bit and pieces in there too. Can fit my Leupold RX-1000i in the front pocket, 10x42 binos in the main and a few extra thing in the side pockets.

    Even with the pockets filled, the fit on the harness is great, doesn't feel like I'm even wearing it. Doesn't swing around at all.

    These one cost US$194 delivered for two. Jaret quoted me US$80 plus $20 shipping each. He's a guy worth dealing with, top service and provides a well made, suitable and functional product. Might also add, he shipped these to me without any payment in advance. Wanted to be sure I was happy with the product before hand! Top guy, service and product. I'm really struggling to understand why we put up with some of the retailers we have to deal with in NZ, some of them still wonder why we shop offshore.

    Loaded it up with a bit of gear. Sits well on the chest and above the gut. Very secure and doesn't move around.
