Flash Optics Harness Reviews

Comfortable and fits well

Really pleased with the Flash Harness. I like the way you take it on and off compared to the other harness I’ve tried. You don’t have to worry about your safety harness tether getting in the way either. The quality seems to be built very well also. A nice upgrade

Mega sweet bino harness

Love it. I'm 6'4 205 lbs, slender. I bought the bigger one but then got the smaller one because unless I'm wearing my thickest gear the bigger size sagged too much with the weight of the binoculars. I like them to sit high on chest. The smaller size is perfect.

Good but could be improved

Harness is very nice. Only negative is the harness not have tethers on the binoculars like they do on the range finder. Kinda surprised they didn’t come with it. I’ll have to order some but again it’s a nice rig.

Flash optics harness

This harnes is awesome! It has enough space inside the optics compartment for my 10x42 Binoculars. The integrated lenses cleaner is a nice added touch for a quick clean during the hunt. The ambidextrous rangefinder pouch is the perfect size for my rangefinder and it's not too big to be in my way. The added rangefinder tether that's built into the harness is also sturdy and a nice added benefit. The harness itself is super comfortable and plenty adjustable. And the big mesh back keeps everything snug and tight and it's breathability makes sure your back won't get hot while wearing it! Overall this harness is top notch!

Harness design is brilliant, however my Leupold binoculars stick out the top more than they should, an inch plus. Should be able to fit binoculars in securely, no information is provided.

Worse, Sitka product ever

The Bino carrier is too small for the Leupold binoculars and rangefinder combination. Also, the small pocket is too small for anything of value and simply will not stay closed.

Important improvements

Sure would like to see this in Sub Alpine. Would like to see another pouch on the Side of the Bino harness for important gear like extra archery releases or extra folding knife like a small Havolin as well as extra Muzzle Loader bullets and powdered pellets. I am currently using your Mountain harness it is great but would like to buy this one but until there are more features included I will have to wait on buying this one the harness system on the newer one is a big improvement but having the extra room is very important.

I did a lot of research prior to purchase. When it got here, it was exactly what I expected. Easy set up. Fits my Zeiss Conquest 10x42’s perfectly and my Vortex Viper HD 3000 rangefinder as if made for it.

Have used several times this year. I definitely like to be small pocket for wind check and rangefinder pocket, with attached tether. Much quieter taking my binos in and out than my previous rig. Magnetic stay open top is great!!

Finally a Chest Rig for Whitetail Folks

This is a great re-design of a commonly used piece of equipment but specifically designed for the Whitetail hunter. The re-design on the harness is perfect when you have to wear a safety harness. The layout of the pockets, rangefinder pouch all follow Sitka’s pragmatic approach.

Actually really like the design and fit with one minor con

I have tried ALL the ones out there at this point and I have the same issue from all of them. Being a skinny fella they all slide down while seated and rest on the top of my stomach. This causes discomfort after a while and the only way to reduce it is to tighten the side straps so much I can hardly breath. However with this design it seems to stay put a lot better. Its light and the harness itself doesnt feel hot or bulky. Material and quick release design is super cool and much different then all the others out there so kudos to Sitka for that. Front closure clip is easy to use and quiet and remove able rangefinder pouch is a nice touch. Side pockets are a good size and rear pocket fits a phone perfectly so I love that aspect. Cons - I dont love the flap opening toward you, I really wish they did it forward opening like a lot of the others. Not a big deal if you are western hunting or stalk hunting but sitting in a tree stand it just gets in the way imo. Not a huge deal but just my personal preference. Adjustment isnt as fast as standard designs. if you are going from thick cloths to light cloths you really need to adjust it before putting it on. You dont have the easy adjustable straps onces on. Yes you can adjust them some while on but its not easy to move the straps if you need to tighten or loosen them a good bit. Bino tether is fairly useless where its added. Wish they would have integrated it inside the harness vs outside of it and use a better attachment end. its just a nylon cord with no clip. From my binos the side holes to attach it to are way to small to fit the cord through so i have to find some other item to attach to the tether and then to my binos. The rangefinder tether is great and well thought out, seems the bino tether was just an afterthought to slap something on there. Again not a big deal for me as I dont generally use the tether strap.

Really like this harness!

There's a lot to love about this harness. Really like the ease of being able to take if off and on like a vest staying attached to safety line. Probably like this feature best of all. I like how the back is made, makes harness very comfortable. Binos (Swarovski EL 10x42) and Rangefinder (Vortex) both fit in harness very well. The only complaint with this harness is the bino cover is continuously coming loose and unlatched, especially when getting in and out of the stand when to me it needs to be covered the most. Other that this it's a great harness.

Wish I would have bought sooner

I really wish I would have bought this sooner, I forgot it the other day and I felt naked in the woods. Like others have mentioned, I do wish the main pouch was just a little, I mean tiny bit bigger, but it's fine over all. I use Leopold 10x40 Gold Rings, they fit, but it's snug. I was on the border of sizing, but it ended up fitting my fine, I have it as loose as it gets and it fits over my Fanatic and Static just fine.
