"Great harness and you guy have super fast shipping"

Disappointed

"Love Sitka products and was really looking forward to using this bino harness this year. I ended up leaving it in the truck and not using it for a couple of reasons. First, the straps are terrible. Second, The pockets themselves are ok, but sizes don't really fit anything comfortably. The material they're made of of is very good, quiet, and smooth. Going with a different brand...I am selling mine."

Brilliant Concept, Execution comes up short

"Let me start by saying I'm an unapologetic Sitka fan. I've tried so many other companies and all my Sitka gear consistently comes out on top. So when I saw this bino harness, I knew I had to have it. I believe SITKA was the first to create a ground up, what I refer to as "next gen" bino harness, which are these new bino harnesses created from the start to carry multiple other accessories. With extended backcountry adventures in Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana, I progressively found myself wanting more storage in my harness for essential items like binos (obviously) & calls, but also bear spray, phone, windchecker, kestrel, inreach, headlamp, fire kit (matches or lighter), snacks, pistol (in griz country) and a knife. It's a huge relief especially getting into the dark on long days in the mountains to have all your essentials accessible on your chest without having to take your pack off or dig through it to get your headlamp or lighter etc. I have also learned that in Griz country it's best practice to keep your bear deterrents (spray and or pistol) on your person at all times. Many hunters (myself included) keep the pistol on the pack belt and there are multiple stories out there of bear encounters happening during rest, bathroom breaks or butchering periods when the pack has come off. Bino harnesses are also great for recce missions where you want to drop your back and explore an area for an hour or so just with your key essentials, so I prefer plenty of storage. Anyhow, with that said I was real excited to see SITKA as the first to pioneer this next wave of innovative harnesses. They promised a whole slew of accessories in the launch videos as well. Overall however this pack has left me disappointed. Here's why: 1) The pack does not fit my leica geovid 3200.com. I have to take off the lens protectors and even then it's a massive struggle getting them in and out. Pretty much will not close with the binos in. 2) The shoulder and back straps are really dinky and get tangled up and as a result of their small size make the harness really hard to put on 3) The string that holds one of the accessory pouches closed broke on my first hunt, popped right open and also lost the pull tab 4) Have not seen any new accessories launched for this harness by SITKA. Smaller companies like Marsupial, FHF, and Eberlestock have entire lines of accessories, so this is pretty inexcusable. 5) Accessory pouches are slightly too small, phones and new inreaches keep getting bigger, and this harness won't fit some of them. 6) No additional sizes for the main pouch, so it only fits the smallest binos 7) No mounting system on the bottom. Everything is headed this way. MOLLE is the past, and the future. The bottom of the harness is a great area for storage of anything from hand warmers, to bear spray, to pistols or even an accessory pouch. 8) No zippered pouch on the front. The area in front of the harness would be great for storing light items like calls, light knives, snacks or other things, missed opportunity to have convenient zippered storage on the front of the bino harness. 9) Side storage on the main pouch is so tight my standard windchecker (powder bottle) barely even fits in. This means struggling to pull it out in key moments that result in more noise and lost seconds when they really count. Ultimately I'm moving on to another system. I think SITKA (arguably with more resources than any other hunting gear company) is far behind the curve here. I've been real impressed by what Marsupial is doing as well as Eberlestock. Both companies have impressive harness systems with multiple sizes, and impressive line of accessories, versatile mounting systems, well thought out storage, and even some pretty cool accessories like hand warmers. Looking forward to trying those out soon."
