I use the Kuiu chest harness and it’s become a part of my body when hunting. I understand some of the concerns for it being bulky but with a pair of 10x50’s…it’s quite manageable.

How many people actually use a bino chest rig?
- Thread starter Zero One Actual
- Start date
I listened to some of the advices given, trick is to get one that ride high and close to the chest. I'm using a Mystery Ranch Bino Harness. On the walk in, I have a Thermacell on one side, and grunt tube on the other, this work really well as I dont have to remove the grunt, just lift the harness a little and lower my head. Inside main pocket would be my rangefinder, bleat can, extra release, and dynaglide rope. In small zipper compartment is spare flashlight, lighter, knife, tapes, band-aid, glove, and a ziploc bag.

Another vote for the Marsupial with two additional gear pouches. I keep my rangefinder in one and my release in thr other. The magnet closure is very quiet and holds closed well.
I don't end up using this as much after the leaves fall. I find that the Binos help me see through foliage.

I just use a chest strap from Sitka. it’s like $29. If it’s rainy snowy I’ll tuck it in my jacket. Sometimes I take it off and clip it to my gear strap.
I'll try to get to this tonight!

I use an fhf bino harness and love having my binos on me. I don’t even like hiking without them. I really want to try to ditch the backpack and use an hpg chest pack with some more compact binos, but haven’t made the jump yet

I want to do this too. Maybe for the youth hunt.

I do, I like having my binos/range safe and sound
At 56 I still don’t require glasses, but my eyes aren’t what they used to be. This year I opted for a Marsupial gear pouch and Maven 10x42’s. I’ve used it on 3D shoots so far and had no interference issues. Looking forward to see how I like it once season starts.
I have mine set up with the bino bucket and one of the pouches from the turkey setup, internally. I have their accessory pouch on the bottom. If I had to complain, it's that I would like it 1" wider lol.

Nope. They don't work for me. Gotta be flat chested...lol
Not with the Rick Young style. My wife wore hers all through Glacier, Yellowstone, and the Grand Tetons this summer.

I made my own, it's super easy. You can do it for about $12 in supplies if you use any cord lock you may have around. (And have enough cord to make several more and enough connectors to make a second). I bought the same Ravenox cord lock as the Rick Young Harness uses and made several. If you only need one, the Ravenox cord lock is not cost effective.

wish the zippers weren’t so loud.. what binos do you have? I’m hoping 10x42 vortex diamondbacks will fit?
any bridge interference?
Last edited:
which AGC do you have? Do you think the hybrid Would get in way of bridge?
You would just adjust the webbing to bring it up or lower it to however you need it to fit. I have the hybrid and used it a few times before switching to the Helicon Tex.
Never got in way of your string?
I'm running 8x30 binos for what I need, a lightweight set of 10x42 might work, but I think you'd be pushing it in the bino bucket... I have no interference while leaning, but sitting it should be expected.
