Works well

Works great for what you need and not super spendy. Makes it very minimum and a small footprint

Great bino harness

I've used this harness when scouting and while hunting. It is very accessible and never got in my way.

This harness keeps my binoculars

This harness keeps my binoculars secure and takes all the weight off my neck. It's quiet, comfortable, and makes long days in the field way easier.

They're great

I like everything about it they're super small lightweight perfect for turkey hunting only thing was I use the bino harness strap and it was hard to get through the little slots on the side of the binos but they're great I love them

Simple and lightweight

I love that this harness is easy to just "get out and go" with. I didn't want a bulky harness with a bino case attached, but wanted something that would fit under a jacket in light rain. The straps are easy to adjust. I'm not sure how durable the plastic clips will be over time, but it's really hard to beat at this price. Like others, I might have preferred the vortex logo on the back to be more subdued, but it's less important if I'm not bringing them hunting.

Harness

Please make a quick release disconnect harness strap, split o-rings and rubber aren't the greatest. Love the strap just not the split o-rings and rubber!

I love it!! It is

I love it!! It is easy to put on, is easily adjustable, and is made of good quality materials that will last. I bought it for my husband and he loves it. I have one that I bought in a bird supply store three years ago and it is still like new!! I also want to give a shout out to Benjamin who helped me with my travel scope mounting plate. I described my model and he thought the Arca-Swiss quick release plate would work and he was correct!! I love Vortex for excellent products, excellent guarantee policy, and fabulous turn around time. That all happens with great people so keep up the good work and thank you so much for your efforts!! Happy holidays to all!!

Meh

The leather was painted a bright hunter orange, rather than what is indicated in the photo. Not my preference at all.

Would not go anywhere without this! You do not want to have to be carrying around the optics.

Best option for long birding sessions.

I used to wear a comfy thick neck strap, but it wasn't worth the hassle. If I was climbing over logs, going up steep terrain, bending over to grab something out my pack, they would swing around. The bino harness keeps it close to our body, minimizes lateral and forward swing, while still making it easy to bring up to your eyes. Only downside is it's not as fast to put on, compared to a simple neck strap. So for the pair I leave on the counter for quick bird spottings outside, I leave a neckstrap on those. But for any extended wildlife spotting sessions, these make it waaayyy easier.

Harness for kids

I bought 3 of these to go with the binoculars I bought for the kids. These were great. I was able to adjust them enough to fit my 5 and 7 year olds. It kept the binoculars secure and kept the pressure off the kids necks. Great alternative to the neck strap that comes with the binoculars. So easy to use! Great quality.

Bino harness review.

I really love my Vortex binocular harness that I've paired with my Vortex binoculars. Very comfortable and versatile. Great value for the money. The only thing that disappointed me was that they were made in China and not here in good old Wisconsin.

Sorry Vortex - Letdown

Might be ok for a 75 year old woman bird watcher but not for much else. I used it on a patrol like hike in the AZ high desert. Elastic is very weak and plastic clips didn't give me any confidence to hold my binoc's. Ended up taking it off and putting binocs in my dump pouch.

Let's hope it works

Bought this harness because glass pack is not always needed. This harness seems like a good happy medium. And, it does seem to fit well. Here's the catch. The connector straps are way too wide for the Viper's attachment slot. Folding didn't work so I had to cut them, which is a bit nerve wracking. Easy to ruin the entire attachment with a slip. And, then getting the connector through the ring in the right direction was another 15 minutes. In all, for something that is supposedly easy to attach, it is not. It took me about 30 minutes AND then there is no way to attach the lens cover. it would not be easy to switch carrying strap options. I'd say this needs a bit of a redesign.

Disappointed and sad

This might be great for your average size man but not for your average size woman. I purchased these for a once in a lifetime African safari and gorilla trek postponed two years because of the pandemic. Now going forward, I tried these on and they run very large at their tightest adjustment. I noted several reviewers complaining about the elastic straps not retaining their hold but continuing to stretch. The last thing I want is to deal with something like this becoming problematic on a long awaited and expensive trip. I think the Glasspak harness is probably a better and more secure fit, however, there are a lot of bad reviews regarding the plastic fasteners breaking. The only solution I can think of is better engineering and materials on the part of Vortex.

Not made for bodies with boobs

I really want to love this product! I?m a big fan of Vortex. This harness strap is clearly designed for men. The way the front straps lay goes directly over my boobs. It?s not uncomfortable, but certainly looks awkward. I haven?t been able to adjust it in any way to avoid this. Maybe I installed them incorrectly? Or more likely they are designed and built for a flat (man?s) chest. It would be awesome if one day there are products like this (which are usually used by almost exclusively men) that took into consideration fit for women, or maybe offered something slightly different to accommodate boobs. Otherwise the product itself is very well made, has great value, and good intentions for function. I haven?t seen any bino harness that accommodates a woman?s features, so this is still a great buy- given its comfort and quality- and I?ll continue to choose Vortex products over other options.

Not for longevity

I bought this harness two years ago and have used it occasionally for birding and during the summer for work. It?s an okay harness; the adjustments I make never stay and I constantly have to tighten the straps during the day. Recently, one of the connectors broke and the left strap came completely unraveled in a 1-foot section. I?ve used similar harnesses for work before and they?ve all lasted much longer.

Pretty typical compromise with poor instal instruc

Gift along with 10 x 42 glasses from wife for birthday, Binoc attachment ears? are too narrow as seems to common complaint and you have to trim QD ring straps to fit. Rings are flashy reflective chrome DUMB! Elastic straps DUMB won't last for long if used much. By the time you put harness on and go to put is all into binoc case you'll be as irritated with trying to wad it all in there I was. Hunting season will determine outcome. See my review on 10 x 42 glasses for photos.
