What are you using. I’ve been just using the strap that came with them. But they’re getting beat up some.
I’ve used the crooked horns harness And liked it ok. But it just stretched out over time and didn’t really provide protection for them.
Wife got me a badlands bino-x chest harness/pack, it attaches to My hunting pack or can be used as a stand alone harness. I’m still deciding if I like the pack on my chest. Vs just the binoculars.

I don’t like something pulling on my neck either. But I slip up on deer and kill a bunch of critters often, I like to have them accessible the chest pack is working out for that and protecting them. This morning I slipped up on a cat and was able to get my binoculars out and see it had a tail and wasn’t a little bobcat. I just don’t know about wearing something on my chest when it is warm or hot.

I got a cheap vortex chest strap that I mainly use when bow hunting or turkey hunting…perfect for warm weather…I will use it if I’m not wearing a big jacket

I use a FHF gear bino harness out West. Can’t stand having anything on my chest while hunting around here, though. I hang mine when I’m in a stand. I don’t like having them on me when I stand/ground hunt.

I don’t like having them on me when I stand/ground hunt. I just bought the FHF Harness. Really like it so far and the add on pieces for rangefinders and other gear. I'm trying to get away from carrying a big back pack or fanny pack and reduce the chit I tote to the stand. Kind of pricey, especially with the added pieces, but I'm liking it so far.

Not same brand, but i have two just like that, and they've worked great for me for years.
Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!

KUIU, but I run and gun 90% of the time for elk. Most harnesses are bigger than I'd like but these are just right and I have 2 of them to swap out when wet. I’ve tried a few and this is the least intrusive to me, other than the strap-style that leaves the binocs exposed. It is rigid on the bottom, but the upper fabric has enough give/flex to move with you, rather than you having to move around it. The closure is easy, too, and stays out of the way well while open. I’ve had Badlands, Alaska Guide and a couple of cheaper version and never could get a good fit, with or without a belly.

I saw this recommended on here before and decided to make one with similar design. I’m very happy with it. Ordered enough stretch cord to make one for me and my buddy. I had a thick 3” square piece of leather for the piece that all of the cords run through on my upper back. Works real good and is adjustable with the push of a button.
