Thanks.

I bought one thinking it was the bee’s knees until an unfortunate photograph was taken of me wearing it in the Tirol in a polo shirt.
It lifts and separates like the famous bra and I had one udder going out each side. It was not a good look. I removed it as soon as we got home.
For serious , stalking use, it was ok but I prefer the original sling as I can take them off more easily and use the binos as a bipod or rest if prone. Have shot a few deer like that. I like being able to tuck them in my smock if crawling which I couldn’t with the bingo-bra as my GF called it. although some gucci versions have a cover as well.
I wouldn’t bother but that’s just one opinion.

Been using a decathlon harness for around two yrs on my geovids..without any issues.
Not a lot of money for what you get and well enough made.

I've the older pair of 7x42 slc and there quite heavy during normal stalking hours. So I bought a harness. There neoprene and adjustable. Never looked back Bob Allen I think
I’ve got this one and I’m quite large. Fits fine, all day comfy.
Love your honesty!
Truth is whatever you pay for one; and I've spent silly money when you factor Import Duty, they are all bloody uncomfortable and doubly so in the Summer as its like strapping a hot water bottle to your chest.

Use a KUIU. Good stuff. Option to use the Box or change to a full strap rig which is handy occasionally. Would not be without one now, particularly up the hill, don't want them bouncing off rocks or dragging through the heather. More comfortable than just a sling.
What's best for you will depend on the size of yer Binos (ie what fits), your environment(dry, WET or snow) and your style (walk only or down in the dirt).
