Great harness, the detachable pouches

Great harness, the detachable pouches are exactly what I was looking for. The quick disconnect straps work awesome for needing access to the binos when not wearing the harness. I was used to a different brand so it did take some time adjusting to taking it on and off, otherwise it's a great harness

Good harness but could use some improvements

I like this harness a lot but I will say that I would like to see padded straps added as well as a material that wasn't so loud. Removing and returning my binos to the pouch is more noisy then I would like in the quiet whitetail woods.

Disappointed

I have never been disappointed with a Sitka product. There are features that I like about this product, but it seems that it wasn't given too much thought in design. The biggest gripe I have is the straps they use. They feel cheap and too thin. I don't see these straps holding up in the field. I don't like the straps they used for each pocket. They aren't easy to quietly open and can be confusing without have to look that them which takes your eyes off whatever your hunting and we all know that taking your eyes off an animal for just a second you could lose them. I just think Sitka dropped the ball on this one.

Great Harness

I used this harness from summer archery practice through our rifle season in Northern Michigan and have nothing but good things to say about it. It is very customizable and user-friendly. I highly recommend it to all hunters.

Awesome rig

I wear this thing all the time. Not just for hunting but backpack frequently and it's great for binos, range finder, maps, compass, snacks etc. Very light and love the pouches. The draw strings and magnets for pocket retention work great and have held up extremely well. The only thing I'd change is adding velcro or a pouch to the end of the body harness. It comes with an excessive amount of length. I simply taped mine as they buckle for quick on and off access. Definitely recommend for any outdoorsman

Grab and go perfection

I use mine as a Game Warden. It is the perfect grab and go bino harness. I am able to keep binos, headlamp, pen and paper, multitool, battery pack with cable and a few other goodies in it. Very comfortable and the magnetic keep open feature is great.

Elk hunting essential

I used the optic harness this fall on my Idaho elk back country hunt. It performed flawlessly in the field. We walked around 12 miles each of the 5 days and I never took it off till I was ready to sleep. The only modification was I added a coiled bungee cord to my range finder.

This thing is very comfortable to wear for long periods of time and is very quiet to access. Great bino harness if you are looking for something to hold binos and a few other essential items like a medical kit and laser range finder.

I have a pair of Vortex Razor 10x50 and you have to widen out the binos and collapse the eye relief to get it to close, not a deal breaker but just not convenient. Would be better if the were deeper. Smaller binos would be a better fit.

Excellent Harness, Not a fan on the straps

This harness works and is the most comfortable that I have tried. The only thing I don’t like about it is the straps/strap holder. You roll them up and put them in an elastic band and if you snag it on something it comes undone or when you’re taking it off. Other than that, I would still buy another and continue using it.

Great bino harness!

This last year I’ve been ramping up my hunting, trying to go from a casual hunter to a more religious deer/big game hunter. I upgraded my optics and got some Maven binos and a Maven rangefinder, this bino harness fits both perfectly with room to spare. I keep all my essentials in this harness like tags, gutting gloves and a snack. The material is soft, quiet and durable. I can see myself using this on almost every hunt. I will admit, trying to wear the Sitka blade orange ballistic vest and the harness becomes a little cluttered in the front but I’d make this purchase over and over again.

Small but everything is there.

Typically carried a back pack to deer stand but changed over to the Mountain Optics Harness in Elevated II. Was a challenge to downsize but well worth it and now only bring what needed that day for the specific type of hunt. Would like a little more room but great item and well designed.

Solid Harness That Gets Too Hot

Awesome piece of kit. Lots of storage, quite comfortable. Only negative is the backing does not breathe whatsoever. After very little movement sweat is soaking through behind harness. Maybe a thinner backer would help alleviate this?
