Marsupial No-Mag Bino Harness vs. Kifaru Bino Harness

[@drewolm]

I keep watching a bunch of these videos. I ordered the Kifaru harness. I hope it works out. The Marsupial looks so tailored and well made, has structure. The Kifaru looks like a t shirt thats been wadded up in the bottom of the hamper for a week.

Thays a easy pass on that Kifaru harness. Come on, Kifaru! Is that all you can offer after sitting at the cutting room table? Nothing innovative to see here. Moving right along.

4:15 that’s a deal breaker for me

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Are talking about the binos not dropping straight in?

[@paulheberling2750]

@@MichiganAmBushOutdoors yes.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

@paulheberling2750 I get it, but it's not that big of a deal for me. Once you remove the milkweed holder, the binos go in easy.

[@paulheberling2750]

@@MichiganAmBushOutdoors that’s nice. I don’t like anything to be in the way of dropping those binos in. For me, it’s gotta be fast and clean.

Can you compare the No mag to the Miley freak game changer?

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

I've looked at them before, but I'll have to see if I can get my hands on one.

[@adamhotz8925]

have you run the FOB from FHF against Kifaru?

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

I have not

[@MikeJones-vb1me]

Good comparison. I’ve never had a problem with magnets messing with my gps but it’s good to know that it’s possible! I found it interesting that as soon as Kifaru dropped their bino harness and all the lifers bought them up, about 2 weeks later they all sold theirs right away.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

I have a buddy that swears his doesn't get affected either. My GPS would always be off a couple of degrees in the daylight and then way off in the dark. I tested it multiple times and even did a whole video on this. I know some people weren't a big fan of the straps and didn't like how you had to flip it open with both hands. However, I enjoy mine and the comfort of knowing my GPS works, and is spot on when I need it to be.

[@MikeJones-vb1me]

@@MichiganAmBushOutdoors definitely possible that I just didn’t notice. Also I’m just using my iPhone gps so maybe that’s different. It will be in mind next year when I’m out with my binos again, I’ll have to keep a closer eye on it. Thanks for the replies!

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

@MikeJones-vb1me happy to help anytime. If you remember, come back and let me know if you experience any issues. I'm always curious about what's different. Happy New Year!!!

[@ElKayCee2270]

Kifaru had fallen off bad. This harness is so badly thought out. They were really riding the wave for a while but have kind of become a joke.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

I appreciate you watching and respect your opinion, but I think they have and still do make fantastic gear. Is the bino harness the best out there? Probably not, but is it functional, and I can run it and trust my GPS to work? Yes.

[@ElKayCee2270]

@@MichiganAmBushOutdoorsI’m glad it worked for you. I know some folks really liked it. Seems there was far more issues than happy customers though. Just seems since the move to Wyoming that QC and innovation has fallen off. I’m sure it’s well put together. But the horror stories of bad stitching, off kilter patch, bad fit, and uncomfortable harness/no bino tether really turned me off. Glad we have many options. Appreciate the content.

[@kingofbratz3626]

What colour is that with the Kifaru's? Teal? Definately not the Green on the website?

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

It's the Ranger Green. The color grade/lighting I use in editing does give it a teal look.

[@kingofbratz3626]

@@MichiganAmBushOutdoors phew! lol Thanks

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

@kingofbratz3626 no problem! I would definitely not be rocking a teal bino harness 😂

[@michaelmcelhinney691]

I know you run a small, but any idea on kifaru size for 10x50 or 12x50?

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

I think a med but they have a sizing chart listed on their website

[@michaelmcelhinney691]

@MichiganAmBushOutdoors my bad I mustve missed that. Thanks for the help though.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

@michaelmcelhinney691 no problem. Happy to help anytime.

[@KillahBC]

Does Kifaru sell bino tethers? Or can we at least buy tethers that can be attached to the Kifaru shoulder straps?

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

They don't at the moment, but you could use some D-loop material as a substitute.

[@drewolm]

I just ordered the deluxe harness. You can order tethers from other companies. I ordered a set from a company called N2 the Wild gear. Vortex sells tethers. I plan to attach mine to the hole on harness buckles.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

@drewolm In my experience, you don't even need them. My binos fit pretty snug, and they don't fall out. I did think about running D-loop material to the buckles just for the added assurance.

Thank you!
