Thread: Bino bivys/bags

Whats approach camo?

Here's the Approach Pattern @Gibo



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 ^

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.

@hotsoup can you post a picture of the TwinNeedle one please. Would be nice to buy an NZ made one.
@twinneedle price and specs?

I don't think Twinneedle have released them online yet, I got my one from Sika show as a demo/tester model.. @paddygonebush

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

So Twinneedle have discontinued making them/designing them. Anyone still bringing in the Alaskan Guide Creations?

Is anyone out there using these - Sitka Bino Bivy ?

Looks like an "older model" ??

You can buy AGC online from the manufacturer. Quick and easy. Was for me anyway.

I have an AGC the big selling point for me was the pocket in the front that fits a leica rangefinder perfectly, if you can't afford ranging bino's it's the next best thing for quick ranging. It has a document window in the back that takes the drop chart and it has two wee zip pockets in the side which I stick a couple of spare pills in. Handy if you empty out the mag and start scrabbling for spare pills to sort a woundy. It does bounce around a bit, but I'm used to it. It's available in plain brown so you don't have to look like a digicamo knob, and it looks a bit trendy, for an old fella but I got used to that too.....

As a matter of fact I've found I can undo one of the buckles, swing it to the side and use it as a rear bag when shooting prone. Surprisingly effective.
