Hi guys, for any of you that have the Swarovski EL Range binoculars what bino case do you use? I just got the sitka bino bivy and realized it doesn't fit my binoculars in it. Wondering if other cases have the same issue? Thanks for the help!
 
I have the Kuiu for my EL Range's. I love it.

I bought the large size and it works, but it's a tight fit. most of the time I don't use the case just the strap . if you want an easy in and out I'd say you better get the XL size.

I have a S4 lockdown for my swaro 10X. It has been a great combo. I ride horses a lot with mine, and it has done well.
I have been eyeing a Kuiu. How do they compare to the S4's? Has anyone used both?
 
I love the badlands! I believe they make the best one out there but they are one of the more expensive ones. I believe they are worth the extra $. Very simple design and will fit almost any modern binocular out there
 
Also a fan of badlands. Not sure about them being loud but then again I have the newer design and I don't think it's that bad at all. As far at too much work taking them in and out... It beats those hornhunter, s4 lock, Sitka in accessibility.
 
I can't believe there haven't been any recommendations for the FHF bino harness. It's a stellar piece of gear, light, compact, easy to use, and bombproof. Love mine, it was worth every penny.
 
FHF here for my Swaro ELs and love it. Also run their rangefinder case on the bino harness and GPS case on the waist belt of my pack.
 
I just ordered the Alaskan guide Denali for my geovid hd-b's. I look forward to trying it out.

The Alaskan guide Denali showed up over the weekend. They are going to be just fine for the Leica Geovid hd-b10x42's. I love the pockets on this harness as well, and it's not bulky at all.
My badlands harness served me well with my 8x42 razors but I do think I will like the Alaskan guide model a lot better.

I found the Badlands to be bigger and bulkier than necessary. So I switched to the Alaskan Guide Creations KISS. So far this thing has been just about perfect for my needs. Thumbs up for AGC
 
I have owned and used a Badlands, Sitka, Kuiu, and Alaska Guide Creations. Without a doubt the AGC is the best bino case for me. Wish I would have just started out with that one!
 
I'm an Alaska Guide Creations guy as well. The complete concealment is the way to go, and having owned FHF and KUIU, I was grateful I made the move to AGC.

Having said that, I am also a fan of the Sitka harness with the magnet system, and now let my kids use that system, as it also maintains complete concealment.
 
I like the Badlands model because I also keep my cell phone in the bino case. Only thing I don't like about them is the water bladder holder attached to the back. You'll need their "Mag" model for that glass though.

Good hunting
 
I run the Marsupial bino harness and feel the simplicity of it and durability is top notch. Especially with the way the lid closure works, it fold out and under the harness where it is help open by a magnet for easy in and out with out having to hold the lid and try putting the bino?s in, better 1 hand operation. Also the Alaskan Guide creations is pretty hard to beat, just bought my dad one earlier in the year and the full closer protection you get is BA, they are also built like a tank and don't think you'll have a problem with that either.
 
I am in the market for one as well. Looking at the Outdoor Vision Ridgetop, Marsupial, AGC. Mystery Ranch came out with one that looks very promising as well. And the price is lower than the rest.
 
+1 on kuiu I've got them for my ELs and my dad just got the kuiu XL for his EL ranges and said it fits great. Best harness I've used yet
 
New AGC owner here. Did a 12 mi scouting trip over the weekend and it performed flawlessly. Looked pretty close at the others, but this provides me the right amount of "accessory" places, and a fully enclosed bino.
 
I guess if you have Swarvoski El Range, your not going to go with my option, but perhaps someone else out there might, so I will put it out there.

I use a Bushnell Deluxe Bino Strap ($12.89) and then put my $300 binos in a Leupold's Go Afield case ($25).

It is no frills, but works great for how I hunt. If the weather is good, I don't use the case, just throw it in my pack. I am almost always wearing a pack, so if it is raining or snowing I run the chest strap from my pack through the back of the Leupold Case and I am good to go.
