Kuiu Pro.

 

I went all KUIU on mine. withe cell phone holder, ranger finder pocket, and water pack. It works awesome!

 

I like Badlands Bino XR. Top bino, bottom range finder. Small pouches each side, pouch for documents on back

 

I got a tuxapo bino harness from Amazon. I know it isn't as nice as the other ones, but it's pretty solid

No real complaints yet

 

Only one I’ve had is a Marsupial enclosed and I love it. I practically lived in it while chasing pronghorn for the first time and have no notes. It is great. Held in place while running and scrambling, no irritation from the straps, easy to operate. It adjusted down to my size nicely which is a huge plus side for a very thin build like me.

Have a marsupial non magnetic and a Rick Young which are polar opposites. One is enclosed and the other is meant to be as light weight as possible. I like both, but obviously there are different use cases.

If I was to lose the marsupial I’d buy it again. I looked at others included kuiu and kifaru, but still came back the marsupial. Fits me well, stays solidly in place including while running and making other dynamic motions and I don’t notice it even after 9 hours. I dislike gloves so the kangaroo pocket has been nice. Adds a ton of weight but I have gotten use out of it without the actual bino harness.

 

Trying out the eberlestock. Good mod system and keep everything close to the chest and compact.

 

Sitka has a killer sale a while back and I picked up their bino harness for $60. Great harness. Came with two accessory pockets.

 

I have been pretty happy with this one so far. Claim to be vet owned and made in USA, so those are bonuses. I added two range finder pouches, on for range finder, and one for handheld release.

Guys and gals I’ve narrowed my search down to two harnesses. Now I can’t decide between a marsupial non magnetic with a rangefinder pouch add on and a Kuiu pro with a rangefinder pouch. Non magnetic is important. I can’t seem to find the answer to this question but is Kuiu made in america or designed in America and made overseas? That’s important to me! So many say Marsupial but man the price point on the Kuiu is better and the reviews are off the charts! Help with this and please keep it between these two now. I’ve spent hours watching videos and reading on every brand recommended in this thread and these are the two that I’m liking the best.

as far as the marsupial non magnetic….they have a 2021 model on their website for a cheaper price than the new versions. Is there anything undesirable about a 2021 model?

 

I’m 99.9% sure that kuiu is NOT made in the USA. Not bashing, I have a lot of their clothing and love it, but it is what it is. Marsupial is made in AZ. That may be a deciding factor for you (and I also buy American when possible). I think the differences in the marsupial versions is how the sides of the lid are connected. The early model would “grab” things in the side pouches when the lid opened, the new version has contoured sides that don’t catch the side pockets.
I have not had either marsupial, but looked at them frequently. The lid design on the 2021 version didn’t appeal to me because it looked like it would catch my wind check from the side every time I opened it.

 

Firstlite...FOB bino harness can't go wrong

 

I considered the fhf models too, but like you I didn’t love the exposed sides on their early model, and the lid opens towards you (like the Agc I have, don’t love that style). The FOB and all the accessories look sexy, but it’s magnetic, and for the price I’d just get a marsupial and be done with it. FWIW, I would have gone with marsupial if I didn’t find the outdoor vision on sale.

 

I’ve been using a kuiu pro harness for close to five years now and have had zero issues with it. Keeps my glass secure and protected and I always found the harness comfortable. I ended up giving that to my wife and ordered a marsupial enclosed for myself. I liked the marsupial but found the harness to be constantly rubbing on my neck and uncomfortable. I ended up selling the marsupial and buying another kuiu pro harness I did keep the marsupial rangefinder pouch because the lid folds out instead of in.

 

Well for sure the Kuiu has a lot of positive reviews. 5 stars I believe.

 

Kifaru harness and range finder pack was ordered. Thanks to everyone for all the help and advice.

 

You’re going to love it, quality from Kifaru is unmatched on all of their stuff.

I have a Kifaru harness sitting here- Ill sell it to ya for a great price-

I prefer my marsupial harnesses. I like the magnetic lid, personally.

 

Eberle stock Recon! i have used pretty much most of them as well. I think this one and the Marsupial are pretty close. i like the modularity of the Eberlestock. I got it at a awesome price to so that was a plus.
