What Bino harnesses are you guys using for Leica geovid 10x42?
I use badlands from ether hunting and fishing or who ever sells them the cheapest
I use the NZ Outdoor Gear bino case, as used by Greg Duley. I had one especially measured up to fit my Geovid HD-R 10x42. Highly recommend
Badlands Bino-X for my Bushnell 10x42 Range finder binos
+1 for Badlands, with the magnetic closure.
A mate got a Sitka one of Trademe, against my advise, and the Geovids wouldn't fit in them.
thanks mate, badlands it is then. its a bit hard to see what they will fit in, when my binos are in nz and i'm in oz. thanks for your help fullas.
how good (secure) is the magnetic closure on the Badlands ? is it secure if you took a spill ?
Kuiu XL, Love my Kuiu harness
@chainsaw I have the magnetic ones for my hg 10-43's and work great. Don't open when I have fallen. But on the hdb's would be a little tight so use the zipper model for them to be sure.
Alaska Guide Creations will handle these and about the best value on the market. Around $146 delivered to your door ex the US
Bumping this thread. Would love some more up to date information on this. After a chest harness that services the binos. Any more recomendations? How are those who previously commented finding there bags after a few years use?
I had Alaska Guide Creations for a few years, couple different models, they were brilliant and the extra storage on them is great. Have been running Kuiu for a while now, its ok but I prefer the AGC as its fully enclosed, the Kuiu is not, always find grass and twigs and those annoying little mountain beech leaves in the pouch and the straps on the kuiu connect to the binos themselves which is a pain in the ass if you want to pass your binos to someone for a look you have to unclip them, I have also had the straps come off the binos a couple times despite having secured them as per instructions and strap tail retainers in place etc. Not sure what size mine is but fits 10x42 swaro EL's snuggly.
Will go back to a AGC at some stage.
AGC sold in NZ or item needing to be imported?
Buy straight from their websiteQuote:

John'd the kuiu or agc?
How about the twin needle bino harness?
Nah I meant the black neoprene "bikini" that the leicas come with. I dont like too much crap hanging around my neck, the bikini is pretty slim and fits in under a jacket well. When you have a bino bag arrangement they tend to get filled up with other shit as well.Quote:

All good till you want to sneak in and lay down a shot, then your'e lying on a bunch of stuff and that last minute Bic lighter you poked in as well is digging into your plexus :omg:
I Have the kuiu harness and really rate it. haven't tried the badlands one
I now use a https://www.marsupialgear.com/produc...nt=32343823244
Nothing else worked that well for me, their latest model is really good.
I've tried a few different arrangements for my Geovids but as @johnd says, the strap they come with is fine for me, just hang it round your neck, tuck the binos in your jersey (or shirt if its hot) and go. Its not like they are heavy round your neck or anything (and my neck is as skinny as anybodies!!).
+1 for the Kuiu XL. Got it after an unsuccessful purchase of the Sitka one....
