Typically carried a back pack to deer stand but changed over to the Mountain Optics Harness in Elevated II. Was a challenge to downsize but well worth it and now only bring what needed that day for the specific type of hunt. Would like a little more room but great item and well designed.

Awesome piece of kit. Lots of storage, quite comfortable. Only negative is the backing does not breathe whatsoever. After very little movement sweat is soaking through behind harness. Maybe a thinner backer would help alleviate this?

Quiet; Rides low so it stays out of your draw; enough storage for everything you need. Accessory holders tend to pop open if you’re shoving your gloves behind the harness.

I've used several different optic harnesses and this one has been the best fit for me. It's lightweight and put my rangefinder in it, scope cleaning pen, license & tags, flashlight, and calls in the compartments. I pack a 10 mm handgun under it in a holster that works very well- and i can still access my gun over the top of the harness with ease.

The straps I don’t think are one enough I’m 6’2” and 195 pounds and with heavier winter gear on the strap doesn’t make it around to clip. Also the small clips that connect to your binoculars broke so they can’t be attached to your harness anymore. I was wondering if I could get replacement clips. Otherwise I love all the storage and versatility it has. It makes your essentials more accessible and Jew comfortable which is really important to me.

Love the additional pockets. I used this for a run and gun setup for Turkey when I didn’t want to bring my vest. Put the binos in the center compartment and still had room in the other ones for a pot call and some mouth calls. Wish they had additional pockets to purchase for a water bottle. Excited to try this out this deer season.

I bought these not even thinking they would not fit my new binos. Don’t get me wrong it’s a nice bino harness but if you have 15x56 do not buy they will not fit. But if you have 10x42 they are perfect They definitely need to make different sizes for the binos themself fit me fine.

Worked great! I am hard in my hunting gear as a professional guide. Fit good, durable, handy additional pockets for my range finder. No complaints. People may hesitate because of the price, but I replaced my old bino case with this one after one season. This bino case kept up with me and is ready for hard use in deer season.

Great harness overall. Love the option of adding or removing the side pouches for rangefinder. Very adjustable to fit the user. One downside is the width of the straps themselves. After wearing them for multiple days with a larger bino setup, the narrow straps begin to dig in and get pretty irritating. Would love if there was something offered to put on the straps to give them some more width/padding.

Great harness! Was a little bit of a challenge getting it adjusted to my body but after I did it fits perfect!! Plenty of storage, Bino pouch is perfect for archery sized binos and pocket for range finder is good. Had room for extra release and I even packed my backup pistol in the pouch in the rear. Would Definitely recommend!

The straps leave a little to be desired. I used it all deer season and really enjoyed the pocket diversity. Was very nice to grab it and have lots of stuff in it, saves time to get to stand. I packed it in my tool bucket and put it on in the stand. The straps, using the Fanatic jacket and Fanatic lite jacket, constantly got lost putting it on. 15 minutes after in the stand I'd find one dangling and then trying to figure out which to clip appropriately. I didn't think the straps were uncomfortable, just how you undo them and clip them was difficult in the stand. Am looking/considering a second in subalpine or brown, but will consider other brands for convenience.

Love it, glad I got the EVII now that it's not available anymore. Hopefully it comes back... Either way, it works great for holding various items that you might need. Calls, binocs, gps, range finder, they all have a location. It's light which helps because the straps are narrow as others have said but over most tops you won't notice. Bow hunting in Wisconsin with a climber on my back, so this is a must for carrying stuff in front. Only thing that would make it better is a longer bottom strap, when it's on over fanatic jackets with a lot of layers, I can't clip it around. I'm 240# so I just leave it clipped in front.

First of all, I am a faithful and devoted Sitka gear consumer. I spend 30-40 days a year in the field scouting and or hunting in North America primarily. I purchased the Sitka bino harness to complete my gear list this season. I like the one hand access on front flap but found the side pockets harder to access and close. Additionally, my Gunweks G5 range finder does not fit either side pocket, (not Sitka's problem). The major fault I found having carried this harness is the shoulder straps are skinny and provide poor support under the weight of binoculars an additional accessories in the side pockets. The adjustment buckles did little to help as they loosen easily being bounced around while riding a horse. I allowed my desire to have a matching pattern override getting a bino harness that is actually comfortable and utilitarian enough to serve its purpose. The Sitka binocular harness needs to be redesigned and field tested, in my opinion.

I really liked this case and was looking forward to using it on my Kodiak bear hunt this last May. It works good for my binoculars, has room for my inreach and still another pocket for minor emergency items. All went well until it started raining. Alaska rain isn't like rain in the lower 48 but is a slow steady drizzle to heavy sprinkle. It also lasts all day and goes from the drizzle to the heavy sprinkle. It appears the form is made of a cardboard or other similar material because after about 2 days of this weather it got very soft. I had to quit using it or it would get ruined. It is back to normal after drying out but it would be so much better if it was made out of a material that could withstand the weather. I would have given it 5 stars except for this.
