I have a small pair of Leupold Yosemite 10/42 porro prism that I like for bow hunting. I know they are not high end I'm looking for a harness that will fit them. Most are too narrow. The dimensions are 5H/6W/3D.

I should add I'd like to not spend $100+. I looked at the FHF Service model and the AGC Denali but wonder what else is out there?

They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

The Rick Young simple cord like harness is by far the most comfortable and light harness I've used in 40 years.

2 for the Rick Young
Amazingly simple, efficient, and you can wear the binocs on your side and not have that huge bow string catching bulge on your chest.

I just picked up the Bushnell ultra light harness from Academy. It looks like a copy of the Rick Young. Just put it on my 8x32 and oh wow. I used other harnesses before but this one is so much easier to get on and off and about as unobtrusive as one could ever imagine. An alternative to the Rick young and available at your Academy.

One thing. If going to use with a heavier binocular like a 8x42 or 10x50 porro I might seek opinion of this ultra light type vs the traditional bino-buddy (suggested Midway harness) types. I could see where the small cord 'could' dig in to you .

Which one did you use that was too narrow?

I’d check out Marsupial.
Very quick on responding when I had questions about the products. My favorite harness.
