Anyone else thinking what a great fly fishing chest pack system this thing could be? I’ll be wearing this with bino’s in the fall and winter on my Bowhunts and in the spring and summer on the river. Great 2-way product!
Just upgraded my original kuiu harness with the pro harness. Much better design. I love the lightweight minimalist style of these harnesses, i just could not stand having the over the shoulder straps connected directly to the binos. I had to take the whole harness off every time i wanted to glass from a tripod. Loving the new design and can say im truly happy with it now.
I prefer an outward-opening range finder pouch design. I need to be able to access my range finder and quickly dump it right back into the pouch, which requires the lid to remain open. This manner of use is made more difficult with the way this current design functions. That's my only critique of this system. Otherwise, it looks really good. I particularly like the bendable/shapeable wire that conforms the bino compartment to my particular binos. Good work, Kuiu.
@KUIU Ultralight Hunting, Thanks for putting out great, informative videos about your products. I just ordered my Pro Bino Harness (and LRF and accessory pouches). After scouring the interwebs for six months. your videos made it clear why I should choose your products. Keep up the good work!
Not unless the development team has something secret in the works--but I'll bring it up with them. Anything with a belt clip would easily clip on, though.
Cool, only the second bino harnes/pouch system that has a hydration pack that is attachable, perfect for when you may be gone for a few hours but not miles away from the vehicle. Food and water plus a few other items for just hunting and not backpacking. I have the AGC bino pouch with their hydration bladder and like it alot but yours being waterproof and lighter material makes it interesting.
ticked every single box. the only thing I think they could have improved is an 1-2 inch piece of elastic webbing near the buckles to allow the harness to expand slightly when layering up and adding bulk. FHF harness does this and I love it. Other then that Kuiu nailed it with this harness cant wait till mine comes in!
SE Alaska review. Velcro wets out on bottom making it not “waterproof.” Not SE AK waterproof anyways. Also the Velcro from the bottom pocket attachment, catches and rips out threads on Kuiu pro 200 merino hoodie. My hoodie has be thrashed harder from the Velcro than busting through brush. Since it can’t handle the weather here and it ruins my hoodie, I run the Sitka one, as it has to be under my rain gear anyways. Wish they would get away from the Velcro on the bottom! Noisy if you bump anything that pulls against pouch, makes it not completely “waterproof,” destroys expensive hoodie from same company. If they closed off the bottom and added a pouch of some sort on the back for license/tags would be best on the market! Unique climate here tho. Excited to try the Stone
I've tried adjusting mine and the bino harness will not stop riding up my chest when I have the hydration pack attached. It's beyond annoying especially when hiking up mountains
did you guys fix the issue of 1) the Bino straps that dangle from the binos when detached and put on tripod. NEVER EVER EVER have dangling whips or straps. Think like a Hunter! and 2) It doesn't sit high enough on chest. It MUST be adjustable so that it can sit on the sternum and NOT hang lower than rib cage onto the stomach AT ALL. Fix these two mistakes EVERY HUNTER wants fixed and you'll have the best. And stop making range finder pouches or any pouches that don't open forward just like the Bino Compartment! How you didn't get this right is crazy.
So the accessory pouches (ammo and range finder) are set over the chest buckles? Just got mine and can't figure out how to set this up to allow easy access to the buckles without having to move the pouches. The accessory pouches have a nylon loop and an open-able latch. Can you show how you attach these?
I use my binocs for birding. I do long hikes and keeping weight down is important to me because of a heavy camera, water, etc. I want to buy the L-size harness because it is 45 gr lighter than the XL. My Zeiss Victory SF 10x42 is 6-15/16" long (with the eye-relief cups where I want them). This bino fits tightly into an RMEF chest harness because of the stretchable latch tie. The L-size KUIU case measures even longer than the RMEF, and it would appear to work okay? I would have to use the XL size with pads which would add even more weight. Question: do I need to get the XL size for my binos, or will the L size work? TIA.
I noticed anytime Brendan and Shaun went to open/close the harness they had to rely on their second hand to hold the harness in place vs a true one-handed operation - Any feedback from users on this and/or updates to make it a One-Handed operation?
If you're referring to some of the accessory pockets, they're probably a bit on the small side. But the harness itself would have plenty of room, if that's what you're asking?
@@kuiuultralight It is just a idea but having a pocket for cell phone would be ideal. Almost everyone nowadays are using their phones as GPS (OnX hunt maps) even to take pic. It would be nice to have quick and easy access to the phone.
Really want to get one of these however one problem, my binos are the newer Swarovskis with the sort of integrated attachment for neck strap (I hope you know what I am trying to describe!) how would you recommend working around this?
If you're talking about the field pro type of attachement, Swaro normally provides the pieces for regular neck straps in the box with the Bins. If you lost them, just contact Swaro.
The backpack attachment is not really deep enough to fit arrows on its own, but if you have an arrow tube that is compatible with a MOLLE-style webbing clip, you could easily clip it to one side or the other of the pack, or possibly to the compression straps.
The Stalker 500 does not *officially* work with it, because it doesn't have the mesh retainer on the center of the bag that holds the rear harness (see the attachment tutorial: ruclips.net/video/B2nJraEwVmc/видео.html ). However, the attachment clips at the top are the same, and would attach to the Hypalon tabs, and the Stalker 500 does have the same webbing loops down the side of the bag that the side straps would slip through. It might not be quite as secure as the Hydration Rig if you did this, but it might work.
Yes, the fabric has a waterproof membrane. It's not submersible, but the fabric plus the fully-contained design should get you through almost anything.
It's a modular system, so you'll need to add some of the accessory items manually, but this page has the harness and hydration system: www.kuiu.com/shop/mountain-gear/bino-harnesses/hydration-setup/probino-hydration-set19.html Just add the components you want to the cart from the main bino harness page: www.kuiu.com/shop/mountain-gear/bino-harnesses/
Many holsters should be able to clip onto the webbing, but the weight might make it challenging to wear comfortably. Beyond that, designing holsters for the wide range of sidearms on the market is pretty far out of our scope, given the amount of existing holster manufacturers. We do also have a strap on our pack waist belts designed to hold a sidearm.
This guy again. Just staring at the monitor like a caveman. I want to see and heat someone who speaks through confidence about what they design. Not reading and taking qs from a screen. What a joke. I hope that guy reads this

the pro seems to have everything I suggested in my feedback. already ordered one. cant wait. Thanks KUIU
Right? It's like they are wizards. This is how I would have built this. KUIU all the way
I own both systems and they are great. Super well crafted and very durable.

Nailed it. I have been researching new ones and this just went to the top of the list. Everything I was looking for plus the hydro rig option.
you guys are always coming out with Very awesome and innovative gear. just take my money!! lol
I'd like to see a rangefinder pouch with a lid similar to the bino harness, i.e. like the Adek. That style lid is faster and easier to operate.
Thanks for the feedback! We'll see if it works.
I agree. Need one that sits sideways, integrated into the main bino pouch, so you dont have to angle it back into its holster.
Me too. My brand new Kuiu rangefinder pouch is so small I can't use it, neither of mine fit.
@KUIU Ultralight Hunting, Thanks for putting out great, informative videos about your products. I just ordered my Pro Bino Harness (and LRF and accessory pouches). After scouring the interwebs for six months. your videos made it clear why I should choose your products. Keep up the good work!
Any thought on making an attachment for bear spray? If you did that i'd be sold. I already own the original bino harness, but love this versatility.
Not unless the development team has something secret in the works--but I'll bring it up with them. Anything with a belt clip would easily clip on, though.
Bear spray? more like a hard cast 10mm attachment.

Love mine! Best all around system on the market.
I wish he would have shown the other binoculars in relation to the extra large bingo bag.
Wish the rangeholders were slightly bigger so you don’t have to wedge it into the rangefinder holder but instead just kinda drop it inside.
Nobody makes a side carry (under the arm carry) gun holder.
Especially for a 1911 or medium revolver..
That clips in

I really like this . Will 18x56 HD vortex kibabs fit the larger pack?
Xl Will my Zeiss 10 x 54 fit OK, thanks
Can anyone point me to a video showing how the bono harness detachable straps weave into the binos? I’m a novice wanting to learn!
I see how you have a range finder on one side and a ammo pouch on the other side. My question is how is the harness put on and taken off now?
Why is the bino logo black and the hydration's pack logo is white ?
I noticed anytime Brendan and Shaun went to open/close the harness they had to rely on their second hand to hold the harness in place vs a true one-handed operation - Any feedback from users on this and/or updates to make it a One-Handed operation?
The tension for the lid is adjustable
Random question, could you use this as a magazine holder also?
If you're referring to some of the accessory pockets, they're probably a bit on the small side. But the harness itself would have plenty of room, if that's what you're asking?
Is the front pocket big enough to hold a Note 9 or something similar in size?
It's meant for smaller stuff, like hunting licenses, or game calls--it's also pretty low-profile.
@@kuiuultralight It is just a idea but having a pocket for cell phone would be ideal. Almost everyone nowadays are using their phones as GPS (OnX hunt maps) even to take pic. It would be nice to have quick and easy access to the phone.
There’s the next idea for add on, a waterproof sleeve for cell phones!!
What size for EL 10x42?
Is there a place to attach you bladder mouth piece so it’s not flopping all over the place?
That's something we haven't added, but there are a number of places where you can easily tuck it under a strap.
Really want to get one of these however one problem, my binos are the newer Swarovskis with the sort of integrated attachment for neck strap (I hope you know what I am trying to describe!) how would you recommend working around this?
If you're talking about the field pro type of attachement, Swaro normally provides the pieces for regular neck straps in the box with the Bins. If you lost them, just contact Swaro.
For the hydration pack does the water bladder come with the system or is it sold seperately?
It comes separately; you don't have to use the Platypus bladder we sell, but we recommend it highly, it's a great lightweight bladder.
Any thought on building AR500 Plate Carriers For SpeOps folk who love your product quality & fit/style?
Please can you confirm the colour of Brendan's Pro Pack. Is it Ash?
This is a Pro Bino Harness (we have a backpack called the Pro Pack), but yes, it is Ash that Brendan is wearing.
Does the back of the harness have a mesh pocket that could hold a cell phone?
No, there's no mesh pocket on the back of the harness.
Can you put arrows in the backpack attachment?
The backpack attachment is not really deep enough to fit arrows on its own, but if you have an arrow tube that is compatible with a MOLLE-style webbing clip, you could easily clip it to one side or the other of the pack, or possibly to the compression straps.
What size do I buy for 15x56 binoculars?
The XL, definitely!
Will the Stalker 500 work with the attachments on this new rig?
The Stalker 500 does not *officially* work with it, because it doesn't have the mesh retainer on the center of the bag that holds the rear harness (see the attachment tutorial: ruclips.net/video/B2nJraEwVmc/видео.html ).

Might have missed it but is the pro waterproof?
Yes, the fabric has a waterproof membrane. It's not submersible, but the fabric plus the fully-contained design should get you through almost anything.
How do I order this exact setup color, hydration pac etc
The one on the manican

So, it’s slowly evolving to a hunting vest then???
In 2020, we'll add insulated straps. In 2021: a hood. 2022: sleeves. 2023: jet pack.
KUIU Ultralight Hunting best reply ever
KUIU Ultralight Hunting good to know! Can’t wait!
Which color is Brendan wearing?
He's got the Ash color of the PRO Bino Harness. His shirt is the Super Cub T-Shirt in Cardinal.
Now you just need to add a sidearm holder.

Already sold out??
They've been popular! We're sold out of one color, and have XL sizes in the other three. We also have a new shipment coming soon.
Thanks. Looking for large Verde 2
