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.
I use the Leupold one that came with the binos, not the best but works ok
I've been using an Alaska guide creations bino harness for about 8 years now, can't fault them :)
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 :)Quote:

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.

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
I’ve got the badlands magnetic but am going away from it. There’s no room for anything else really and if I fall into a hole (as you do) it flies open and any little stuff falls out.
Twin needle here, housing a leupold 10x42 bino with a pouch on one end for the plb, pouch on the other side for whatever, used my gps in it last trip. I bought it from a forum member in Loburn a year or so ago and love it...I'll chuck a pic up.
The Twin Needle case looks similar to the Manitoba Expedition Binocular Caddy case I have. Read a review on it, had a look at it and have been very happy with it.
Another vote for Twin Needle, I found it has space in it for my Bushnell Prime 10x42s with some light merino gloves, a Muesli bar or 2 and my phone.
I run a PLB pouch on the side with my PLB, a vacuum packed survival bag and a lighter.
The harness works for me, even with a backpack on.
I used to run the Hunters Element bino setup and didn't like the harness, the elastic is waaaay too stretchy and I found I got hung up a lot in thick scrub
I like my bushbuck because it is big - with 2 side range finder pouches i can carry all sorts up front as well as my binos.
Have the Bushbuck, very happy with it. Yes its big, does not seem to be a problem for me.
it can fit a lot of stuff and comes with a rain cover.
Probably not the lightest on the market though
