gmcbob Report post Posted June 5, 2015 Anyone have recommendation for a bino harness for 15x56 swaro's? Something similar to this? Thx, Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Becker Report post Posted June 5, 2015 My buddy uses the bad lands magnetic one. But you have to go try a few out as some are smaller than others so some won't fit the 15s. I have I believe an Alaskan one. I'll look and let you know. I prefer full protection vs just the wrap kind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossislider Report post Posted June 5, 2015 I've tried a few. Hands down I prefer the ones from Badlands. The magnetic closure is awesome. I can fit my Vortex Razor 12x50s in the original model with a little room to spare, but I'm not sure about the 15s. The newer model is larger. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to find the Badlands Bino harnesses locally to try for size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fits my range finder in the front pocket, a few rounds and ear plugs in the two side pockets. Jimmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thx, Bob image.jpg That one sucks. i can tell you that from experience. I use a KUIU and it's ok. KUIU could do a few things to improve theirs. The nice thing about the one pictured is that the tether that connects to the binos is NOT connected to the harness. Therefore you can remove the binos to glass off a tripod and not have the harness completely fall off (one of the few weaknesses that the KUIU has....there are others). I have yet to find a harness on the market that is perfect. They are all missing one thing. I have the pack shack here in Eagar modify mine to add the one feature I believe they all lack.....tie down to the rear of your pants like suspenders.

outdoor rush Report post Posted June 6, 2015 The Alaska Guide Creations harness is the best one I have ever used. Jaret Owens is a great hunter, guide, and person. He is constantly working to make his packs better. When I called him the other day he was on a 2 mile hike with his 92 year old Dad, testing out new pack designs. I have owned the Badlands and the S4 and the ACG is hands down the best design out of any of those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goinhuntn Report post Posted June 6, 2015 Hornhunter makes a great bino harness comes in two sizes one for 10x42 & larger for 15x56. I have both it even has place to hold your rangefinder so it is easily accessible! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mudslinger Report post Posted June 9, 2015 I have a Kuiu and alaskan guide and they are both nice. If you bow hunt the alaskan is hard to get your 15 s in out silently with one hand on a stalk. If your rifle hunting, scouting or driving a ranger in dusty conditions they are great and provide great protection. I bow hunt mostly and prefer the Kuiu they fit good and you can get them in and out much easier. Both are really comfortable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmcbob Report post Posted June 9, 2015 Thanks for all the good advice everyone. I've looked at the websites, and I'm leaning toward Kuiu or Alaskan Guide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vanhornsky Report post Posted June 26, 2015 i have kuiu. The 15x56s swaros fit tight. I like the strapping system most of the time. Like it was said previously the top straps fall off your back if you unclip the binos, but has not given me a problem. When I go to move I just clip them back in. I came from a badlands, it was really heavy and made my pack wear funny because of the water compartment in the back. Now the kuiu is not perfect for all situations but works well overall. I was also looking at the FHF Bino harness. I even tried one of my buddies for a while. It was nicer than the badlands for sure, but I like the Kuiu better.
