Had me wondering what a bingo harness was. Thought it might be a strap to keep your dauber in place when a hand cramps up.

Well that bingo harness will keep you from falling out of your chair if you get too excited when screaming out BINGO.

I’d go with the one with the built-in ashtray holder.

I really like my FHF gear harness, it fits really well, works with one hand and is small enough it doesn't get in the way when i'm shooting my bow.

I run the Kuiu harness and it is good, but would like something that seals up better to keep twigs and debris out when bushwhacking. Some larger pockets would be nice too.

Check out Oregon Pack Works. I ordered a BinoBro and it’s deadly. Soft shell, waterproof, no bounce in the straps and the lid actually opens away from your body the way you would want it to. The lid seals with a sewn in elastic tether and keeps all the debris out. Very simple design from a small startup and good quality.

Personally I have owned the most simple crooked horn pack, That worked well then I went to the badlands pack, A bit to bulky for me, now I am using a kuiu but I am still not 100% satisfied as the pockets are pretty much useless. I do have it rigged to hold my rangefinder with a spider monkey quick release that work well one handed. I would like a bono harness that had one smooth sleek pocket for my cell phone as I use it a lot for gps and mapping. People are eager to toss out that they love one or the other but have only ever tried one and they may have different t needs than the next guy. My buddy loves the big badlands so he can keep his glasses inside there.

and cheap like Borscht. So simple and so light and no bulk at all, you can wear it in a bunch of different configurations and you don't have to fight with the cover of the pocket to get at your Bino's in a hurry.

I like my Alaska Guide Creations one. I do wish that the cover opened down instead of up though but other than that its excellent.

FHF rules the roost. Kuiu is almost there. Complete protection for your binoculars, holds them securely, small, and you probably can’t wear them out.

I use a diy version of this harness. I have Browning bag type with two side compartments that I like for full coverage.

Eberlestock scout for me.

Opens fast with one hand and keeps bino safe...side can clip the rangefinder but not super secure.

I switched to a Sitka one this year and like every other Sitka item it is amazing. I have vortex binos - only complaint is binos move around and make clunk noise when walking. I fixed by storing a spare pair of gloves to make fit tighter.

I use I think they're called the Hunter horn more or less an elastic camouflage material that hold your binos in
