Kuiu are doing upto 40% off at the moment as well. Ive got sitka xl and can fit lieca hdb and helion xq38f in pouch
That’s a pain.
Has someone told them?
They were very keen for feedback when I had some small issues.
I didn't tell them.
Materials used are good and they fitted my mates bins.
So he had them off me.
I thought this for years.
Then I got a harness. They really do make a big enough difference to be entirely worth while.
Though there are big differences between makes. Some are far too bulky and make you feel like a bad Dolly Parton drag act. I would say the Kuiu ones are on the edge of this.

I also like to go hiking and wild camping, having binos hanging around my neck for 5 hours is very tiresome I find.

Started with a Harkila one - just not rugged enough for stalking. Imported a large Kuiu for my Meopta 10x42 which fitted well but I didn’t like that once the binos were out, there was nothing holding the top of the case hence KB’s comments about sports bras I believe. Treated myself to some Leica 10x42 HD-B’s only to find that they didn’t fit. Bit the bullet and imported an Alaskan Guide Creation and I’m never going back. Have used for the last 2 years of hard stalking and I still think it’s great! I highly recommend them especially for the larger range finding binos. Having paid a small fortune for the binos, why wouldn’t you spend a little more and get something that not only works but protects that investment!

The Kuiu Pro Harness is different to the original, it does not slip down as it has a complete shoulder harness.

I wouldn't be without one either these days, when I go out with 4.5k plus worth of gear nice to know it's safe. I had 2 days on hinds and lad who took me out had a nice pair of compact Swarovski bins and all he did was pop down his smock which was working for him for years!!!
the large is perfect for my Swarovski SLC 10X42

It took me a while to decide on which harness to go for but I settled on the Kuiu, a number of reasons but the fact the "lid / top" opens away from you makes things easier, and its slimline design. If your using thermal aswell then there's room to attach a pouch on the side. I went with a pouch from Waldkauz, I then made a lanyard to secure them in the same way as the bins when out of the harness. It maybe worth getting the extra pouch to attach to the bottom, I use that for gloves and such. The pocket on the front under the logo really is less than useless and you'd struggle to even get a credit card in there...
In an attempt to be more constructive I feel it helps a great deal in the matter of restricted movement to keep the straps narrow rather than those preferred by manufacturer's of the more aggressive mil-spec type such as FHF who probably offer a bolt-on parachute pouch!

Hdbs plus helion
Mine from FHF and with a few mods including a soft leather insert for when I do use it as the nylon is noisy. It is a size 'L' if I recall correctly and only just accommodates my 8X56 Night Owls as will be noted by the flap coverage. The pouch is NOT intended to be waterproof so gaps are not a concern.

What colour is this if you don't mind me asking, Ranger Green?
Been looking at FHF and AGC.
