The Sitka is a real squeeze with my Geovids. They do go in but it's a bit of a shag around. R93 has the Badlands and he rated it.
Have only seen the SC ones in person and they seem a bit budget for the price, but that's the sort of info I'm after.
I have the Kuiu for my Zeiss Rf binos Really rate it, very good bit off kit, your welcome two have a look see.
Carson bino armour, very happy with it so far.
Buffalo river bino harness ill show you on the weekend its ok. I'd like to try the bivi style myself aswell
bloody shit phone
I thought they were a bit of a gimmick that we didn't need, until a Sitka set came up on here for a good price. I grabbed them and they fit my swaro 10x30's perfectly. I really rate bino bivvys now, keeps binos protected, out of the weather, stops them swinging around, etc. They're bloody good.
The only thing that I find a little annoying is if I'm glassing from the truck its not as easy as just grabbing the binos, the bivvy is attached to them all the time. I could just make up a quick release clip though.
Also use a Badlands with Zeiss RF best protection but same as Josh absolute b****** to get out if you are not wearing Bino Bivvy
Alaska Guide Creations. Got more room in it than some of the others so you can fit quite alot of stuff it it. The guys that sells them is very very good to deal with too.

using Badlands ones with Zenray ED2's. Love it. Keeps them in nice position and well protected.
@P C what did shipping to nz cost ?
I was thinking of getting something made that'll clip on to my daypack straps, webbing and anything else I'm wearing.

I use the kuiu one. Wouldn't be without it now.
1+ for kuiu, the most comfortable and compact one I've used.
Kuiu XL for my Zeiss HT 10x42's. Excellent protection and very comfortable.
Badlands for me
Been looking for a while and want one I can have a range finder, map, compact camera in too. Looks like the Alaska Guide Creations is the answer. US$80, cannot see why I shouldn't
Just order a couple of Alaska Guide Creations bino packs. Must say the level of service is top notch! Dealing directly with Jaret Owen(via email), and found the comments on the US and Europe based forums to be true, cannot beat good old fashion service with a smile. Fast replies too.
Shipping tomorrow and roughly a week based on previous shipments.

The radio and range finder shown must be small as I m not sure mine would fit.
Some ammo, compass, phone, lighter and stuff would for sure...
I've ordered a s4 gear lockdown x.
Been looking at the full cover cases but their more than I need. I would still run with the basic bino harness I have if it didn't let the binos swing around so much when I have to move it.
Had a couple of the Alaska Guide Creation bino packs turn up today. Must say, pretty nice and functional!
Handwritten note from Jaret, wanting to know if they suit our needs and if there is any else he can help with. Few extra bit and pieces in there too. Can fit my Leupold RX-1000i in the front pocket, 10x42 binos in the main and a few extra thing in the side pockets.
Even with the pockets filled, the fit on the harness is great, doesn't feel like I'm even wearing it. Doesn't swing around at all.

These one cost US$194 delivered for two. Jaret quoted me US$80 plus $20 shipping each. He's a guy worth dealing with, top service and provides a well made, suitable and functional product. Might also add, he shipped these to me without any payment in advance. Wanted to be sure I was happy with the product before hand! Top guy, service and product. I'm really struggling to understand why we put up with some of the retailers we have to deal with in NZ, some of them still wonder why we shop offshore.

Loaded it up with a bit of gear. Sits well on the chest and above the gut. Very secure and doesn't move around.

He also does a large pack, fits 15x56 or Geovids etc. And a smaller one, no front or side pockets.
