Erblestock or Kuiu Bino harness

[ND308]

Looking to get a new bino harness. For Zeiss 8x42 bino, handheld range finder, and then will be getting a thermal at some stage.
Would like the harness to fit all of these and nothing dangling around - both the options in the title seem versatile and adjustable, does anyone have experience with them?

Had both - have a look at Marsupial.

Had both. Prefer the Erblestock by a small margin. Easy to keep lid open with a wider opening. Also, easier to put on and off.

Did you use a thermal with the erblestock? If so what pouch did you get for it - that’s the big dilemma is hoping for things to fit

 

[Whitefront]

No. But you can fit pouches on the side wings., which have those molle strap things and are about 3 inches wide. I think you can also fit a pouch underneath, using the velcro.

Have a look at the Helikon Numbat. It’s fairly non bulky and take Binos rangefinder and thermal plus first aid kit.

My pal has a Kuiu harness, I wouldn't recommend it. It's not easy to attach pouches as there is no molle webbing.
Another has the eberlestock, it is a better piece of the kit.
I and several of my friends are using the T and K hunting gear harness. Lots of attachment capabilities and it very overbuilt. It's my pick of the bunch.

Had both and still have the emberstock one. Much more versatile, I think cheaper and has molle options that are much better.

Erbelstock are very good, quality kit. I have just dug out my Gunslinger rifle pack to justify keeping it. Quality piece of kit, the Bino harness likewise.

Order direct and they turn up in about a week with no customs nonsense or costs.

40 quid postage hurts but suppose worth it

I don’t remember it being that much so just checked and it was $36 or £27 making a harness on its own $145 delivered or £109 which isn’t horrendous compared to other. Vortex is about £20 more Harkila is £5 less and Kuiu about £20 more.

I have the eberlestock and highly recommend it.

For pouches it'll take any molle ones so I just bought some cheap ones from eBay.

A small one for a thermal, a mag pouch which holds a Spartan bipod and an abdominal/dangler pouch for my gralloch kit.

Any links to this one. I’m looking at the badlands mag2 because it has the wings to attach a decent pouch on the side for my thermal.

Because they like to charge us more for here for no reason.
I have managed to dodge tax with T&K the last few times I ordered by asking them to change the docket value. Ended up being £30 postage, Dakota to Belfast in 1 day. Belfast to my place...2 days.

Try getting a “hands on” of what is out there. I don’t use either, but you’re more than welcome to have a quick feel of mine.
