Keen to hear about this also. Quite keen on AGC Cub, but they look bulky. Any feedback?
I use the same bino bag that the Duleys use on their TV show. I have no idea what the brand is, I brought it from a forum member who got in two.
It works well for me.

They work well, bought one for the old boy a while backQuote:

I normally use a badlands and find it very comfortable but its well worn on front and the magnets don't really hold it closed when bent over with vortex razors inside.
So for the roar I'm using my older AGC pouch as the strap closure is robust.
Has anybody got the swazi one, I cant quite tell how it actually works.

AGC, I have the top two on this page, the second one is great if you run a separate rangefinder as it fits in tthe fffront pocket. I'm running the top one more and more now though and have my rangefinder on a lanyard around d my neck.

Just some Legend Ultra HD 10x42, @sambnz uses one the same as the second one for his Geovids and they fit fine (they are a large bino) the smaller one that I'm using can fit longer binos like Swaro EL or Trinovids etc but is at its limits with Geovids
I have the duley style one and it's nice but the zip is noisy. Now I use an Alaska guide creations and find it excellent with pocket for rangefinder on the front.
I have used a couple of different options and by far its the kuiu one,
Most are way to big and almost have a daypack on the front of them.
Other one i would look at is the solo hunter one
I use the binobro. Is awesome, light streamlined and quiet. Good price too
Sitka one is for long skinny binos, agc fit more 'stuff' in. Can just get binos (10*40 vortex) and rangerfinder in sitka.
It's taken me ages to try work out the best bino bivy system. I've tried the both TwinNeedle & Kuiu, currently still using both. (kuiu doesn't fit my Leica Geovid 10x42) Any chest style bino bivy can be a pain in the ass when needing to remove/add clothing, aswell as crawling on the ground is not ideal.
I'm going to be going with the Duley version, I think it'll suit me best. Will keep the Kuiu for my partner to use with my Vortex 10x42.
+1 to the AGC, the front pocket fits a leica RF perfect, if you don't have ranging bino's this is the next best thing as very quick to access. Does feel bulky for a kickoff but you soon get used to it. Bino's are not attached to the bivy so if you need to pass them to a useless mate who forgot his bino's to take a gander at something it's straight forward. Down side is if you bend over and the lid is not closed the bino's will fall out, so you need to keep the bino strap on your neck at all times.
With my binos bivy I can get away wih a slightly smaller pack. One thing to bare in mind is if you can take the harness off. Sitka I can't, agc I can means it's padding for binos when in truck and no straps getting caught in doors
You mean the one that Willy dropped his Swaros out of a couple of seasons ago? Good one that.Quote:

Agc - two plastic buckles on the side and swing it to one sideQuote:

old style or new style Geovids, i use a Kuiu one and my old style geovids fit sweet as. Brilliant bit of kit.Quote:

Could be interested if you want to sell that Duley pouch @hotsoup
Cheers, my mate ended up buying it off me for his Leupolds.
I went with the vortex one, and when it turned up it is an Alaska guide creation with the vortex badge
I've gone for the kuiu harness. Really like it. Comes in 2 sizes to suit different binos. I just bought the range finder case that attaches to the harness too
I run this Badlands Bino-X magnetic pouch, has been great as I can keep a few bits in with it.
Currently takes my Bushnell 10x42 Range finder binos, wind meter, spare batteries, ear plugs and will hold a few extra bullets on the outside.
Upgrading to Approach camo so this'll be for sale when I get home in a few weeks.

Excuse the model, sorry state of affairs...
Added bonus of some of the Badlands bino bivys are that they have a mesh bag at the back designed to hold a hydration bladder.
Cheers
Any one use the Leica case / bikini thing that comes with them? Robust ? or waste of time?
Never used mine ^
@hotsoup can you post a picture of the TwinNeedle one please. Would be nice to buy an NZ made one.Quote:

Any chance for a pic @hotsoup? I'm running around in Laos for work so bit hard to swing by the store and have a yarn to them
Best pic I got, hope this helps @paddygonebush I would consider selling it
