Had both,

marsupial with out question, more comfortable, more options with the modular design.

I still run a pack for elk hunting but ran the marsupial gear rig for Tac this year and it was fantastic. Highly recommend.

 

1. Binos and rangefinder. I also carry a small knife and my release. License, tags and phone.

2.I do still carry a small lumbar pack to the stand deer hunting with water, food, rattling antlers, grunt call, kill kit etc. A larger pack for multi day excursions etc.

3. I only have experience with the Marsupial and not the Sitka. It meets all my needs and has been very dependable.

 

I run the marsupial harness with a pack depending on what I’m doing. For quick day trips and stuff I use their small pack for the marsupial that you can buy and it attaches to the harness. The hydration pack

 

Thanks for all the responses so far! I’m leaning more towards Marsupial with all the research I’ve done so far.

 

Haven't touched the Sitka and I likely never will. I could not possibly be more happy with my Marsupial.

 

I just picked up a Marsupial to replace an older AGC pack. Loving the Marsupial. I have no experience with the Sitka pack

 

Marsupial has been great. Kinda biased as this is my first and prolly last.

 

+1 for Marsupial made in USA

 

Marsupial seems to be the fan favorite here!

 

I’ve been thru a pile of them and settled on the Marsupial. Haven’t found anything I don’t like about it. I carry my phone, tags, binos(of course), and my rangefinder in a range finder pouch attached, lens cleaner, cotton swabs to clean my verifier lense. I still carry my back pack for extra clothes, knives, lights, etc.

 

Bought a Marsupial for bino’s and my range finder in the spring. Both work great and quality is top notch. I was worried about it getting in the way of my bow string no problem at all with that. I shooting two different bows one is 28 3/4in. A-A. The second bow is 33in. A-A. No interference with either. Not sure about the other bran but Marsupial is made right here in the US.

 

Love Sitka clothes… their bino pack sucks compared to Marsupial though. I now have 2 marsupials [emoji23]

Thanks for the responses.

I guess the thing I need to ask myself is if a bino harness really worth it. Everything that y’all have mentioned that you carry in it, I carry in my pants & jacket pockets. I wear Sitka so there’s pockets everywhere to carry all that I need except for binos.

Also, do y’all find that the harness causes extra sweat?

 

Marsupial without question. I carry my 10x42’s, a rangefinder and large pocket for phone.

yes the harness is totally worth it. A good harness that fits and is functional is almost forgotten about on your chest.

 

The wider shoulder straps are worth it, imo. I like cargo pockets for a pair of gloves, beanie, on the go food, etc. My MG Bino Harness carries the 12x50s, phone, wind checker, hand held release, tags/license, diaphragm call, and lens cleaning cloth. RF pouch with tether next to it. When you Elk and deer hunt out west nothing is flat and you can put some miles on depending on your game plan. Dealing with sweat is always there and shouldn't be a consideration, imo. Comfort and usability get checked first. Last thing I want is cargo pockets filled to the brim and 1" webbing digging into the traps. My MG bino harness will likely be the last I own...it's that good.

 

I own a lot of Sitka stuff but Marsupial for the harness. Best on the market IMO.

 

Marsupial all the way. I run the bino, RF pouch and holster with my firearm in it. The only negative is it does affect the compass on my iPhone, I need to hold it away from me to get a reliable reading.

 

Thanks for sharing your experience. Yeah anytime you use a compass, it needs be far enough away from metal to get an accurate reading

 

I will say I’m digging the wolf and coyote color for the harness and pouches!

 

Good call. That's what I bought.

 

I have both. The Marsupial without question.

Only have owned the Marsupial but have no reason to try anything else. It's perfect.

 

Marsupial everything,even lumbar pack.

 

The Marsupial is a quality piece. I have the enclosed model with the small rangefinder pouch on mine. Highly recommend it to anyone.

 

I use a KUIU, used a Marsupial and it’s top notch, HATED the Sitka missed on so many levels. FHF, T and K and the new AGC Ravus are all top shelf.

Marsupial

 

Hello everyone!

Trying to decide if I really need a bino harness or not. Looking for answers/insight to the following questions:

1. What all are you carrying in your bino harness?

2. Are you still bringing a pack of some sort?

3. Would you buy the Sitka bino harness or Marsupial bino harness? I like the look of the wider straps on the Marsupial and I guess they would be more comfortable. Heard good things about each of these.

Any insight to these questions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I personally used Sitka Bino and it is just perfect having option for bino, rangfinder and for your smartphone / knife. Three separate section and one the best feature, you can detach two small section that is designated for rangefinder and knife. Check the link below to buy. You'll really enjoy to buy it. It'll be the best package in your gear with best crossbow.
