    You really need to try on to see what's comfortable for you, personally I have found the badlands magnetic bino bivy by far the most comfortable to wear.
    I have owned twin needle and spika, although these 2 have more pockets to put other bits into they are nowhere near as comfortable to for me to wear.

    Twin Needle for me, built bloody well, NZ company, modular system and all accessories etc quick and easy to get. Used to run an Alaska Guides and liked it except for the fact it opens towards you instead of away from you and had my binos fall out of it a couple of times when I'd forgot to put the little bungy back on. Had a Kuiu also and scratched my old ELs in it because they don't close up fully and stuff can get into them if you're bashing through the bush etc.

    I keep my binos attached to the harness itself, i like to be able to let go of them if i'm ranging or having a snack and not worry about them dropping

    Also just remembered for some reason I tried the bushbuck Bino Bro a few years back and got rid of it straight away because it was way to big and bulky. My sister now runs one as she is sponsored by them and I must admit I was a little jealous when we had just climbed for 3 hours up a ridge and she busted out a redbull from one of the compartments in it hahaha

    Another Twinneedle vote here. I've got a gen1 bino rig and found it the best for me. I run the Bushnell Fusion 10x42 binos,fit fine,not a lot of room for anything else apart from my phone but low profile which I prefer.

    Cheers for the info, I currently have the hunters element version, it’s been good but I quite like the look and feel of the badlands magnetic bag.

    I think that’s my vote too, the badlands.

    I'm running a Marsupial with 10x40 EL. Had Kuiu in the past. The Marsupial is much better. I like Twin Needle but their harness looks bulky?
    Reasonable prices. From US though so the shipping would be maybe 50-70.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    I had a spika one for a while but found the thin shoulder straps dug in and were uncomfortable after a while. Running a $40 temu one now and quite like it actually, wider straps,much softer overall and lightweight. Has the option to run without the shoulder straps which I mostly do now
