I really like my Kuiu bino harness. I slide the Sig case that came with the rangefinder on one of the side straps to carry it.

It has the magnetic closeures and a rangefinder pocket on the bottom. the only downside is that it takes a few days to break-in and fit perfectly to your bino's

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Only down side is the bino has zero protection. I really like the lack of bulk. https://rickyoungoutdoors.com/basic-ultra-light-bino-harness/

I used the Rick Young setup for a while but I found that it dug into me and started to chafe on mountain hunts/long hikes. I've had good luck with the Kuiu setup as well.

I purchased ALPS RMEF ridge stalker and feels like a solid harness for binocs only for 40$. there are other models. I have heard good things about Alaskan guide All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Marsupial folds forward away from your chest. Secures using magnets when it's in the "closed" position.
