Just ordered one of these and I think I'm gonna like it.  PS.  I've used a binocular harness for years, but determined I was beating the heck out of my binoculars if I needed to suddenly crawl around to put the sneak on a turkey or when I had to dive in the brush to avoid being spotted.

Very interesting...I like the call pockets.

I use an Alaskan Guide Creations Cub MAX.  Works very well and holds everything just where I need it.

I got one about a week ago. It's nice. You could almost just use that for a quick hunt. I'll probably take off the box call holder and wear it under my vest

I looked at one this weekend.  The thing that is lacking is the pot and peg pocket.  It doesn't have a way to secure the pocket closed.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Sooner or later you will learn less is better ... putting all this stuff on including your vest ... but it's a nice product ....

Haven't used a vest in years.  Camo backpack and a seat hooked to my belt.  Got tired of carrying a 20 lbs vest around.  PS.  Also have a decoy bag and if I shoot a bird I deflate my Avian Jake and can put the bird along with my decoys and carry them out over my shoulder.

I agree with you on carrying that vest.. good deal....

When you carry Weiss or Leica or Swarovski glass you protect them at $1,000 or more a pop!

I've tried them all. Some twice. The marsupial is by far my favorite. I have tortured mine and they keep performing. Great product and even better company to deal with. American made.

I looked at all of them for a new pair of binos I purchased last year and went with these as well. Used them all last fall, and am very happy with both function and quality. I can say, if you are using some of the heavier binos such as Leica, Swarovski, Meopta, etc, they are a huge improvement over the elastic, Crooked Horn-style harnesses, especially if stooping over or crawling.

I have two Swarovski one for turkey hunting and the other for out West. I use a Badlands enclosed case it takes plenty of punishment from Mountains to desert and holds up super. I really like the magnetic closure on the flap.
