![]() I wanted a harness that could carry a few more items other than a range finder and binocular. ![]() I had another well made bino harness but it did not have the two pouches that come with the Mountain Optics harness. I'm giving five stars for this product because it is a joy to use, and because I haven't seen any other product on the market that I feel does a better job. The small fabric loops on the outside edges of the outer pockets are also a nice touch, giving a good place to attach my rangefinder lanyard. And the sheer number of places to put things has been a very nice surprise - I can easily fit my phone, my tags, some emergency allen wrenches, a replacement battery for my rangefinder, a wind checker bottle, a couple diaphragm calls, a bic pen, and a small compass all in the various compartments *surrounding* the main three pouches. The ability to remove pockets and attach other accessories is also nice, especially outside of hunting season when I don't feel the need to carry my rangefinder. The pouches also have enough structure to provide some meaningful protection to their contents, but aren't so beefy that it feels like I'm carrying unnecessary weight. ![]() Accessing each of the three pouches is totally quiet, and the magnetic flap on the main pouch works great when frequently pulling binoculars in/out of the harness, and provides just the right amount of cover from rain/snow when necessary, even without fully closing the compartment. I've tried a handful of different binocular harness systems and this one is definitely my favorite. Overall if you’re on the fence about this product: do it. My only complaint is that it did not come with a water bottle case which the photos did lead me to believe it might come with lol. Much better than vortex chest carrier and much slimmer than the eberlestock recon carrier. The straps are 3/4” thick so maybe adding an extra 1/2” would be helpful, but anything past that would become a bigger nuisance when a ruck sack is placed on your back. The weight over 7 miles of tracking and taking the shot was very manageable and I will be using them every time I go out in the future. I did an elk rifle hunt last weekend and had my vortex binos that fit very comfortably in the center, my range finder on my right side (shooting hand) and then I use the left pouch for my call and a thick left hand glove in case It got miserable out there. As stated by many before me the shoulder straps are narrow and don’t distribute weight that well which can become a nuisance over time. ![]()
