Rokslide Binocular Harness Head-to-Head Test: Which Harness Comes Out on Top?

[@Andres.Guzman]

Great video, straight to the point. Fun fact: the plural of "debris" is still just "debris" with a silent S. Deh-bree

[@adventureoffscript]

🤦ha ha I know I don't know why I pronounced it like that.

[@Andres.Guzman]

@@adventureoffscript regardless, very informative and gave me insight into what I do and don't want in a bino harness. Thanks

[@adventureoffscript]

That is awesome! My goal is to put gear through the ringer so that others can make an informed purchase! @@Andres.Guzman

[@va7txr551]

I ran to the comments hoping for this in particular! Thank you! Haha.

[@SquirtleOnYa]

This video deserves so many more likes for how many people watched

[@PonderosaSoundStudio]

Best review on KZbin, by far. I can only wish the other reviews even put 1/10th of the effort in that you did to make this review to simulate or achieve real-world conditions. Very much appreciate this and all of your work that went into it.

[@adventureoffscript]

No problem and I'm glad that you enjoyed it and found it helpful!

[@PonderosaSoundStudio]

@@adventureoffscript Got myself and my son the Sitka Mountain bino harness mainly as a result of this video. Thanks again!

[@adventureoffscript]

@@PonderosaSoundStudio thats awesome! I have found that due to the cross harness system and the fact that there isn't any padding the Sitka MTN Harness fits my son better than most harnesses.

[@tarawaukeri8928]

Well said mate...by far.

[@TCraig1989]

Absolutely perfect…. No bias or crazy opinions to slander or sway. Just plain facts to let us make a good judgment call to make a purchase! 👍🏼😎

I second that

[@chipdog149]

Wow.... I am glad I came across this video... I've been looking for a Bino Harness for this falls hunting season. I was hoping to see the Vortex Glasspak Pro Binocular Harness or Eberle Stock Recon Modular Bino Pack.. Still conflicted. This was a great review anyway. I'm going to take a serious looks at Sitka. Thanks for gettin' dirty Brother!

[@parkerlipetzky]

I used the sitka mtn harness last year. Broke almost every buckle and bungy on it by the end of the year.

[@adventureoffscript]

Absolutely! I am glad you enjoyed it!

[@mattsteed8015]

Amazing review. Thank you for the time and effort you put into this test. As hunters, we are lucky to have so many great options. The FHF looks like it would be extremely low profile and handy. Great job!

[@adventureoffscript]

I appreciate the kind words! Yes it did take some time but I think it was ultimately beneficial for viewers!

[@kaleoariola]

I just ordered the Ravus kit from Alaska Guide Creations in Kryptek Obskura. I just ordered the kit because it contained options that i could see being useful. I am very happy with my purchase after watching this. Mahalo for making this video and all of your other review videos, it really helps to make decisions that consumers can be happy with. Mahalo again, aloha!

You are welcome and let us know what you think of your Bino harness once you get some time on it. And we love Kryptek Obskura!

Thanks brother for a brilliant review, on the back of this I’ve ordered a full Marsupial rig with pouches and handwarmer muff for these cold English winters. Lots of choice of add-on’s and color configurations

I have the Alaska guide creations and I’m very happy with it, I’ve used it Bow hunting for Elk in the Pacific Northwest where there is no shortage of thick brush, I like the way it’s built and I would definitely recommend it. 😁👍💪🇺🇸

I just purchased a Eberlestock Recon, hopefully it stacks up!

We worked hard to keep them rated G 😂

[@adventureoffscript]

Ha ha I am glad you enjoyed that! I was gong to do it naked, but I figured KZbin and the audience wouldn't enjoy it. On a serious note, I wasn't sure how else to test them, especially considering I conducted the water test during January in Wyoming!

[@crossroads5885]

Hand down you should review all gears like this

[@adventureoffscript]

I appreciate it and would really like to do more just like this in the future!

[@knuckledragger2412]

Awesome review!! Do you have any input on how the Kifaru rig compares to the ones in the review? I think 9 months ago no one had received one yet. Thanks

[@adventureoffscript]

I have not personally used one but I have been with people that had them. The harness itself creates an "X" in the back like the Sitka does, other than that, It seems to open more like a Marsupial. I hope that helps.

[@outdoorsdestinations4293]

Very very very useful informations that exactly what we needed to choose one Thank you

[@adventureoffscript]

I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad you found it beneficial!

[@chadd587]

Which of these companies are US made? I visited a few of the brands sites and they are proud of their efforts to remain manufactured here, and the extraordinary costs associated, and I think they deserve the recognition. Country of origin is as important a feature as being waterproof for some. I didn't know any of these other than the Marsupial were US made until I started seeing the flag in some of the clips.

[@adventureoffscript]

Off the top of my head, I believe FHF Gear, Marsupial, T&K, Alaska Guide Creations, Stone Glacier, and Outdoor Vision are made in the USA. I will update this reply if I learn differently.

[@SylvainSybaris]

I went with Alaska Guide Creations for 2 reasons... 1. Made in USA... 2. Quality product.=== The tethers look nice, but I don't need them, nor did I ever drop them, so I removed them, and the lid COMPLETE CLOSES SECURE.

[@rodger602]

Why no Muley Freak? I feel like it would have done very well in this test. I've personally used the AGC, Badlands, FHF, Kuiu Pro, Marsupial, Muley Freak Traverse 1.0/ Traverse 2.0/Game Changer. I definitely feel like the Game Changer is the best harness I’ve tried.

[@adventureoffscript]

I'm glad you found it beneficial, I haven't tried the new one from Muley Freak.

[@adventureoffscript]

Thank you very much! and I have never heard of that, I will have to check it out!

[@wildchild795]

Looks like fit could be a factor but from those first few tests regarding mobility, the order seems to be Sitka, then FHF, then Stone Glacier, then Adak

[@evanwindom]

Any two of the first three tests could have been excluded since they're all different measurements of exactly the same attribute. I really appreciated the very practical and detailed analysis not only of the features, but how well those features actually functioned. Props, also, for saying that you chose the harnesses best suited TO YOU, and why. Too many reviewers lose sight of the fact that different people want different things. Not everyone hunts the same way. Drop a couple of those early fit tests (jog, bounce, bend), and you'll be golden with this video.

[@lancestoppermyrtlebeachrea2734]

Awesome review!! Thank you

[@danlane2547]

Thanks for the head to head review for all of those systems. That was pretty thorough. I'm curious how well some of these modular bino harness systems can mix and match accessories like rangefinder pouches or bear spray holsters from other brands.

[@MrGT3]

If the attachments are molle, they should work.

[@danlane2547]

That's supposed to be true. But many companies call their attachment mechanisms "MOLLE" or "PALS", but they're not cross compatible because they use different sized webbing and/or spacing between webbing.

[@svolkmer]

@@danlane2547 He didn't mention it, but the Sitka Mountain Harness accessory pockets can be removed and have Molle webbing behind them. I liked the features of the Mountain Harness, but it didn't fit me well (personal preference) and now I'm holding out for the new FHF FOB harness.

[@adventureoffscript]

Some of the accessories could be mixed and matched especially the ones that hook to the molly webbing spots by connecting with a velcro strap.

[@adventureoffscript]

@@svolkmer Yes that is correct the pockets can be removed. I have even removed the pocket and put a peak design camera clip on it!

[@seabass22]

I’m between an AGC (have the vortex version), Marsupial, and T&K. Probably leaning towards T&K and Marsupial.

[@michaelmanthey9858]

Excellent

[@adventureoffscript]

Thank you!

[@bamoore65]

Have you tried the JX3 bino harness? Would like to see how it stands up to some that you tested today.

[@brockjensen4100]

Curious how the new generation of The FHF Gear harness would have compared, it looks pretty sweet.

[@adventureoffscript]

Thats a great question. Each company chose which harness they wanted to send, so I used what they sent!

[@dwhickbama]

I’m stoked for that new one from FHF!!

[@gillesbolduc863]

does a Bino case with concealed handgun combo exist?

[@drewmcginn3422]

Which one is quietest???

[@brodeebell7002]

Marsupial #1

[@adventureoffscript]

It did well!

[@tuckeroo59]

Thanks for your video and information, it was very thorough and helpful. Just a heads up here : the word debris is pronouced without sounding the s on the end. The word debris is good for both single and plural.Hope you dont take offence at my offering

[@adventureoffscript]

I'm glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate that. I don't know why that day I decided to not leave the "s" silent 🤦

[@justins8768]

T&K quality is unmatched

[@adventureoffscript]

It was a pretty great harness!

[@Adrenaline89Junky]

Debreeze? Wtf. Nice comparison, thanks

[@adventureoffscript]

🤦I know right. I don't know why I pronounced it that way.

[@MackGully]

The s is silent in the word debris

[@adventureoffscript]

🤣good call

[@curtisjohnson944]

I am hearing people add the s on this word more all the time and it drives me crazy.

[@sleekmedia]

Wish you would have included the kuiu

[@Rokslide]

we wish they would've sent us one. They are always invited. Often it's just the busyness of their operation that prevents them from getting involved.

[@jeffpallister8651]

Why no Kuiu

[@nathanfilkins4496]

Kuiu? By far better and functional

[@adventureoffscript]

I reached out to KUIU and they never responded. When they didn't respond, I reached out to a friend for a loaner for the test, but the one he sent was too big for the binoculars that I used in the test.

[@gillesbolduc863]

no Kuiu?

[@outdoorsdestinations4293]

Great thanks

[@pemborsky]

T&K, obviously.

[@pemborsky]

Although I will say I'm pleasantly surprised by Sitka's snug factor.

[@adventureoffscript]

It did well and for being a lesser known harness, I really enjoyed using it!

[@jmc112485]

Ummmm… why are some harnesses loose for evaluation and others are tightened? … seems bias and skewed

[@adventureoffscript]

Thanks for the comment. As I stated I took a deep breath with all of them and tightened them until it was snug. Feel free to gather all of the harnesses, block out several days for testing, then more time for editing, and find out for yourself Jeffrey!

[@bqoutdoors2334]

You didn’t put Kuiu in there they are the best

[@adventureoffscript]

You clearly didn't read any of the other comments. I reached out to KUIU and they never responded. When they didn't respond, I reached out to a friend for a loaner for the test, but the one he sent was too big for the binoculars that I used in the test. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelpenland1966]

quality!

[@badlordboris6238]

everyone buys marsupial for a reason. they are very good.

[@trueblue9101]

Surprised adak didn't do better

[@adventureoffscript]

The Adak fit well and I love how the range finder pouch attaches, but I had quite a few things fall out of the stretch pockets and found it more difficult to close than others tested.

[@PD-we8vf]

Don’t even have an Eberlstock recon.

[@Rokslide]

Well shit, we should probably take the review down.

[@adventureoffscript]

I did reach out to them they didn't respond. Thanks!

ah ha ha sooooo I've been told... repeatedly, but on the flip side thanks for watching the review!

[@joshuawarren6792]

Shocked @kuiu wasn't included in this test/review. I've used a few of those and found it to be superior. Likely a Sitka fanboy

[@avery_adventures]

[@michaeljacques6924]

went the same path did go threw the same snow depth how come he did not move to snow that was not packed down and weads that were packed unfair test watch the vedio

[@adventureoffscript]

I respect that thought the process. The snow was pretty slim picking when I did the test, but I'll keep that in mind for the other one. Or maybe you could go crawl around and test all 9 harnesses and let me know what you find out!

[@TheDemoncaller]

DA-BREEZ

[@paulellsworth7679]

With sitka winning its a shame you didn't include a Kuiu. To bad you didn't have any freinds to give you a freebie. The Kuiu is a much better harness. Probably because Kuiu was developed after the founder sold off Sitka to develop a better product. Lol

[@adventureoffscript]

I wish KUIU would have been included too! Maybe next time!

[@tonesmith909]

Nice review, I have the Ravus also, hate the lid, wont stay closed. I wish it had a bungee type system like most the other models they have. Also, how tall are you? Ty 🫡

[@adventureoffscript]

Thanks for checking out the review! I am not tall 😂...5'6".

[@Stykbow]

kuiu is another good one. but man sitka smoked them all. im shocked at how bad the others were, well i wasnt surprised with TK and badlands and the other dumb ones those are obviously going to suck.

[@adventureoffscript]

ah ha ha well like I said I did my best to get them all to fit the same, but Sitka is a great harness.
