      Fit for purpose gear!

      Was looking for a harness to accommodate my Binos & thermal. 12x50 binos & Guide TD633 thermal fits into the Magnum size edition. Perfect fit, snug, great quality & 3rd pouch carries ammo & eves batteries. Zips easy to open & close with gloves. Gear is safe & tucked close to body, no swinging or flopping items dangling around your neck. Great build quality. Can't go wrong.

      A little bit saggy

      Great bino harness/holder for what i carry.

      But it does tend to sag a lot if your not upright. The elastic straps could do with some work.
