    Bino harness????

    OK so have a pair of vortex diamondback 12x50 binos.... don't like the harness they come with as it sits too high on my chest... have adjusted it about as much as I can.... have just had a look at eberlestock scout harness but the binos are just too long for the magnetic closure to work.... has anyone had a spika harness.... interested on feed back or other options suitable for this size bino

    Cheers

    Another vote for Twin Needle. My Bushnell Fusions fit sweet with just enough room for the phone as well. Well made kit.

    I use a Leupold one that cam with my 10x40's can also just fit my rangefinder and phone into it. My gripe having tried several why are is the back of the harness made for giants, they all appear to be made that way.

    I brought these: https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....ino-bro-88703/

    I've used them a lot since and I really like them. The pocket below the bino section is handy for GPS and radio or whatever else you carry. Fit my Delta rangefinding binos too which many other brands don't fit. Not sure they'll fit the 12x50s though.

    They'll be 10x42 I'm picking?... I've got to fit some 12x50s in them..
    Would be worth having a geez at tho I'm thinking...

    Yeah ok fair enough.... that's the issue I had with the eberlestock scout harness when I tried it yesterday.... binos went in but were bit long for the magnet to latch

    Why use a bino bivy / harness at all. I prefer my binos in a shoulder bag that is similar to a military messenger bag. Hangs under the left arm with a quick release strap round my guts. Doesn't get in the way like a bivy does

    I use and really like the kuiu harness. Good solid enclosed system that is low profile and can open close with one handed operation. Have never been impressed with the Hunters Element one. Twin needle gets good reviews by everybody.
