Vortex Optics Glasspak Binocular Harness

I do a lot of field work hiking many miles a day and carrying a lot of different equipment. This harness has been great for me to keep misc. items (Maps, Pliers, tape, water, radio, gps, etc.) Build quality seems great, I imagine the tension strap will be the first thing to go, but it doesn't feel like that'll happen any time soon. This harness doesn't put really any weight on my shoulders, the chest straps can make it difficult to get a full breath if it's too tight, but that's an easy fix, just loosen it a bit. It also fits very well under my 70L backpacking bag with zero chafing or pinching, I don't even notice the straps on this at all.Overall a nice piece of kit that I will more than likely be purchasing again when this one gets worn out. 30 bucks seems like a steal for the quality.

Works. No more tension on my neck. Keeps them available without the being exposed to dirt and snow

Nice affordable harness. Smaller than you might think. But perfect fit for my Swarovski SLCs with 42mm objective. No extra space or rattling around. I DON'T think these will work for porros or 50-56mm. No additional storage beyond a lens cloth or 2 in the tiny mesh pockets. Keep your wallet, keys, phone, rangefinder, etc elsewhere. I appreciate how compact the case is and use it for general storage too. Padding is very good with a stiff card backing up the bottom to protect the objective lenses. Quiet and quick open/close. The elastic closure may wear out eventually, but you can replace with an elastic hairband very easily when the time comes.Pro tip: Don't attach the bins themselves to the harness. Instead, leave your original strap on the bins and keep it unweighted around your neck as backup. If the harness comes undone, your expensive bins won't fall to the ground. Also, you can easily share your bins to give someone a view. With kids, you can put the neck strap over their head.

For the price I though it was going to be made very poorly. I was very pleased to see that it was made very well. Has all the straps for harness and optics. Very well padded to protect optics inside. The closer is a bungee loop so not noise like Velcro or a button would make. So if you are out scouting it wont scare anything away. Has a zipper pocket and a couple of net pouches on the sides. Very impressed.

Great storage to carry hunting, fits my binoculars perfectly

Lo recomiendo

This is the one Steve Rinella uses. This should be the only info you need.Thing is seriously well made. Comfortable. Sturdy. Does it look good? Kid, let me tell you a story.I wore it for a hiking trip with my kids. Looking for wildlife while towing those screaming cretins is a bit stupid, but there you go. Saw another dad on the trail who asked me for directions. I helped him out best I could but told him it was my first time on that trail for over 20 years. You know what he said? He says to me he says "You just look like you know what you're doing."You know why he said it. He said it because I had this thing on. A chest harness makes that skinny annoying dude on TLC that your wife likes look like Grizzly Adams.I have no affiliation with Vortex Optics and no consideration was given for this review. Vortex if you read this, I would like to be affiliated with you and receive consideration.

The pouch fits the Vortex Razor UHD 8x42 binocs, but I wouldn't go larger than that. The closing elastic works, but due to how the catch hook is sewn in, its not a one handed job. I needed to hold the hook and then stretch the elastic over it. The stretch was large, so I have doubts about the longevity of it.I wasn't too fond on the quality of the straps themselves. Thin straps and the buckles didn't have the feel they'd last too long. However, I ultimately decided to return the pouch because the chest straps weren't large enough. Fine with a T-shirt, but if I layered up with a coat, they wouldn't fit or be comfortable. Don't see an "extension" option, so back the pouch went.At the cost, the pouch is fine if you're a smaller person, just don't have hopes of it lasting that long.
