I got this for Christmas last year and absolutely love it. A buddy of mine let me borrow his for one hunt last November and I never looked back. It keeps your binos secure and out of the way and very convenient for getting them up quickly. No pull on the neck or chest area like regular binocular straps do. The zipper is super quiet and has a magnet to help keep the pouch shut even when not zipped up. All the straps are very adjustable to fit any type of body/build. One of my favorite pieces I've got from Sitka so far. I would highly recommend!

I have to be honest, the previous model of this bivy was not good. Sitka has updated it and I think it is a big improvement. Much simpler construction, better design. The zippers need some work still. Pretty load. Perhaps going to a more flip over design would be better? Eliminate the zipper entirely. Otherwise, the strap improvement makes it a lot easier to run. The lens cloth feature has always been great.

The one I just bought this summer prior to 2017 deer and elk season looked great and worked great at the 3D range. Until I took it hunting. The thing literally squeaked every single step or movement I made. I think it’s where the bottom elastic and female buckle stash inside. Hopefully this one is a different because I couldn’t even hunt with mine on. It’s basically just for Archery shoots now. Bummer cause everything else Sitka I have is amazing. As well as the customer service. This one fell beyond short. Sorry but it’s just honest feedback.

I have used several bino bags over the years including the previous model to this one (which was horrible). This new design is much simpler and better. I like how you can zip the bag all the way closed to keep out dust and debris. The zipper is not smooth and is kind of loud so that is an area that could use some improvement. Overall, a big improvement over its predecessor and a good product.
