So last year I decided to move from a bino harness to a harness/case. I had decided on the badlands bino mag. I ordered it in Dec or Jan and it is still on backorder, but the store has suggested I may prefer the new Mystery Ranch quick draw bino case.

I have tried the badlands with my binos (vortex talon hd 10x42) and I like it.

Anyone have experience with mystery ranch's new quick draw case that can draw comparisons between the two? I don't have opportunity to see the mystery ranch pack first.

The mystery pack is $99 and the sale price on my backordered badlands case is $119, with $20 difference price doesn't really play as a deciding factor

Im not a huge fan of mine. Too bulky and the straps rub the shit out of my neck

I had the original badlands one and then the tactical badlands one...original was by far the best of the three. My buddy has the kuiu harness and it is real nice I might be switching from the Alaska guide to the kuiu

I have an Alaskan guide and I like it. Nice to have the binos handy. It also holds my wind powder a spare mag and my tags. I guess it could feel a little awkward at first because it is bulky but I can shoot my bow with it no problem. It seems well made and should last a long time.

I have the MR bino harness. Have only hunted with it for about 5 days but I like it. Also holds my rangefinder which is nice. I have used the Badlands harness in the past, now it collects dust.

I have had one of the original AlaskaGuide bino harneses for years and the only problem with it is that it is too noisy for bow hunting. Is the MR any better? Like really quiet?

My buddy lost his binos out of his badlands case on our stone sheep hunt last year. Whatever case u use make sure your binos r fastened to a leash somehow. Was a painful sheep hung for him without his binos

Solo Hunter Bino system is what I use. Low profile, stays against your chest, doesn't bounce around. Quick easy access and very adjustable. Also comes with a range finder holder. Great system.

I like the kuiu bino case, and just ordered the range finder add on....low profile design and the straps are appropriately sized and fit comfortably under my pack

Harness straps from Vortex eventually stretched out and bino kept banging around my belly. Got the Kuiu and it works great. Harness fits flat under my pack, and the case stays snug on my chest, it opens quietly, and the neck straps attached to the binos mean i cant drop it. Case is optional with the extra strap they provide.

ouch! Thats painful! Yes I was suggested the MR case and one of the reasons was that I was told the Badlands case tends to pop open easy with sudden jerks, like jumping off a log or rock outcrop etc.

Love my Alaska Guide Creations harness. Had the Kuiu and got rid of it, much prefer the ACG.

I have used a badlands case for several years and have had no issue with the case popping open. The Badlands case has straps to attach the binos to the case so if someone lost their binoculars out of the case they were not using them as designed.

I like the vortex harness for carrying binos...but I don't love it for actually using them. Seems like I need to keep it too tight to be able to lift them to my face, to keep them from bouncing.
Maybe there's a sweet spot, but I'm struggling to find it.

I'm always surprised more people don't mention the Oregon Packworks Bino Bro (Pro). Seems lIke it incorporates the best parts of most systems.

Also have the Cabela's Teck Lite (I think that's what it's called). Seems similar to the Kuiu.
