One of the best Sitka gears and one of my favorite, I will give it 5 with “-“, it would be great if the range finder pocket was slightly bigger or there was an option to choose a size, my Vortex Razor HD 4000 just barely fits into the pocket with small gap while closed. But otherwise love every bit of functionality of that harness, definitely recommending.

Rangefinder pouch is laughably tiny. I don't know what rangefinder they used to test this but every one I've tried doesn't fit. The Maven crf. 1 doesn't even fit, a highly recommended, small rangefinder without the elastic loop being stretched to its limit. There also isn't enough adjustment in the straps to account for the temperature (less layers so need smaller when hot and more layers needing it larger when cold).

Sure would like to see this in Sub Alpine. Would like to see another pouch on the Side of the Bino harness for important gear like extra archery releases or extra folding knife like a small Havolin as well as extra Muzzle Loader bullets and powdered pellets. I am currently using your Mountain harness it is great but would like to buy this one but until there are more features included I will have to wait on buying this one the harness system on the newer one is a big improvement but having the extra room is very important.

It should not be this hard to tether your binos to the strap! The strap end is too thick to pass through the plastic piece which requires you to pass through it once, loop it around binos, and then pass through again to secure. It’s useless for me. Other than this major issue, it’s a great harness, I do think the S/M/L size could have just a little more adjustability.

Pros: I think I’ve tried them all and to me this is the nicest harness system on the market. Multiple shoulder surgeries and arthritis has left me with limited range of motion and this harness is easy for me to get on and off. It’s very comfortable and stays in place . Cons: I wish there were different size Bino pouches or at least make it bigger and have foam spacers. I have 8X-32 Zeiss Victory’s and when the eyecups are up I can barely get the cover latched, and when I do the cover doesn’t 100% cover the Binos. I also prefer the cover to fold forward and out of the way. I often have to use both hands to get the cover out of the way to put the binos back in.

I really wish I would have bought this sooner, I forgot it the other day and I felt naked in the woods. Like others have mentioned, I do wish the main pouch was just a little, I mean tiny bit bigger, but it's fine over all. I use Leopold 10x40 Gold Rings, they fit, but it's snug. I was on the border of sizing, but it ended up fitting my fine, I have it as loose as it gets and it fits over my Fanatic and Static just fine.

This is a great re-design of a commonly used piece of equipment but specifically designed for the Whitetail hunter. The re-design on the harness is perfect when you have to wear a safety harness. The layout of the pockets, rangefinder pouch all follow Sitka’s pragmatic approach.

There's a lot to love about this harness. Really like the ease of being able to take if off and on like a vest staying attached to safety line. Probably like this feature best of all. I like how the back is made, makes harness very comfortable. Binos (Swarovski EL 10x42) and Rangefinder (Vortex) both fit in harness very well. The only complaint with this harness is the bino cover is continuously coming loose and unlatched, especially when getting in and out of the stand when to me it needs to be covered the most. Other that this it's a great harness.

This harness is perfect for the bowhunter. The felt linned main compartment makes this again perfect for bowhunters.

Love the quick attach/detach. The bino pouch does run a little small in my opinion. I have the vortex crossfire binos and they are about 6 & 3/4” long, and they are pushing it. For binos anything 6 & 1/2” or less in length and 6” or less wide will fit perfect. The rangefinder pouch fits my halo xrt7 just right. Which is 4” long by 3” tall.

The good: The concept is great. The slide lock system for securing and removing the harness is easily the best on the market. The bad: Bino pocket is on the small side. Barely fits my 10x42 glass. Rangefinder pocket is also too small. Does not completely cover my Vortex Razor HD 4000. It is a smaller rangefinder and it’s a very tight fit. Not good when if you need to hand the retrieve from pocket. Both bino and rangefinder pocket covers do not close securely. The fasteners will easily come undone with a gentle nudge from a branch or crawling through tall grass.

I like some of the new features on the new flash harness, but it barely fits my maven C3 10 x 50 binoculars and the rangefinder pouch is too small for my maven rangefinder. The harness is good for smaller binoculars and rangefinders at the end of the day. I do like the mountain harness more because it fits everything better.

The bino harness fits well and stays secure on my chest. It does not bounce or jostle around. I like the quick disconnect feature for putting on and taking off. The built-in tethers for binos and range finder are also very handy. I purchased another MOLLE pouch to put on the other side, handy for holding turkey calls and sunglasses. The only thing i have found that could be better is the latching mechanism for the bino case could be a little more secure. Other than that, I am very happy with the purchase.

So far I have enjoyed the optic harness. It is much more comfortable to wear for long sits than the strappy ones you typically see. I wish was that Sitka was a little bit more proactive on different attachments/accessories for the harness. It has a great opportunity to expand its versatility. However, its limited to what you can actually buy for it without going down rabbit holes. One design recommendation i have is that if the bino holder cover opened the other way, it would make accessibility to the phone/accessory pouch on the back (chest side) easier to utilize when you have the cover up and open and it would also shield the bino's from sun reflection off the lens and provide additional concealment while your trying to access the bino's.

I have tried ALL the ones out there at this point and I have the same issue from all of them. Being a skinny fella they all slide down while seated and rest on the top of my stomach. This causes discomfort after a while and the only way to reduce it is to tighten the side straps so much I can hardly breath. However with this design it seems to stay put a lot better. Its light and the harness itself doesnt feel hot or bulky. Material and quick release design is super cool and much different then all the others out there so kudos to Sitka for that. Front closure clip is easy to use and quiet and remove able rangefinder pouch is a nice touch. Side pockets are a good size and rear pocket fits a phone perfectly so I love that aspect. Cons - I dont love the flap opening toward you, I really wish they did it forward opening like a lot of the others. Not a big deal if you are western hunting or stalk hunting but sitting in a tree stand it just gets in the way imo. Not a huge deal but just my personal preference. Adjustment isnt as fast as standard designs. if you are going from thick cloths to light cloths you really need to adjust it before putting it on. You dont have the easy adjustable straps onces on. Yes you can adjust them some while on but its not easy to move the straps if you need to tighten or loosen them a good bit. Bino tether is fairly useless where its added. Wish they would have integrated it inside the harness vs outside of it and use a better attachment end. its just a nylon cord with no clip. From my binos the side holes to attach it to are way to small to fit the cord through so i have to find some other item to attach to the tether and then to my binos. The rangefinder tether is great and well thought out, seems the bino tether was just an afterthought to slap something on there. Again not a big deal for me as I dont generally use the tether strap.
