I’ve tried numerous different bino harnesses, and this one has exceeded all expectations. I love how comfortable the built in wings are, as well as the harness itself. One of the most underrated features are the pull-forward side straps. These makes it seamless when adding/removing layers and needing to adjust the harness on the fly. No one else in the industry offers these and I can’t go without them now. They are perfect when making adjustments in tight spaces like a deer stand. I highly recommend this harness - it will be the last one I buy.

Exceptional design, great materials, and great construction; as per the other pieces of Eberlestock gear that I own. The attention to detail of the Bino Pack actually surprised me. Little things like elastic straps to hold excess webbing from flapping around loose, to bungee cord holders for tethering your field glasses to the case (including small QD clips) greatly contribute to the five-star rating. (Oh yeah; it also works great when kitted out.)

Functions well, color matches, sturdy molle webbing, overall well made product

Let me tell you a story about a hunt during late season last year. I was in a hang on stand in a transition area. I had my badlands harness on, which I'd used for several years.

In the past, I had looked at the Recon system, but just didn't pull the trigger for some reason. Well, 2025 late season Kansas hunt made my mind up for me very quickly.

The spot I was hunting had a ton of deer. They poured through this small staging area on their way to a soy bean field every evening. There were so many around my son and I that we could barely move. This essentially meant that I'd be shooting sitting down because our tree didn't have much cover at all and I couldn't risk trying to stand up.

Typically, I hunted with the flap of my badlands harness open because the magnetic snaps on it are kind of loud, especially on a high pressure day like this with very light winds. I didn't want to risk having a deer pick us off by closing it and hearing the "snap". Anyway, I'd shot with that harness on 100's of times, so no big deal, right? Well, I soon realized that, despite all the practice, I had not shot with the harness flap open in a seated position, and I quickly made aware of the error of my ways. I had a nice 150+" buck step out at 25 yards and feed in front of us. Once he turned broadside, all I had to do was draw my bow, settle the pin and shoot... or so I thought. Everything went according to plan until my bow string hit the open flap on that badlands bino harness. When I drew, my string caught on that open flap and made a loud sound. That buck instantly alerted and took a step back with his front leg as I released the arrow. I've been bow hunting for over 25 years, and it is rare that I rush a shot, but that day, I did because of how much it surprised me to have my string grab like that. Fortunately, my arrow stuck that buck in the chest, severing an artery in the process, and we watched him go down within 50 yards. It could have been a total disaster.

My intent here is not to bash another manufacturer, rather it's to tell you what happened to me and why I chose to switch. That badlands harness is well made, but it is not as nice as the Recon. The Recon is far quieter, closes without a sound, and a major bonus is you can open it and have it wrap back onto itself. That, is a game changer. The profile of it doesn't change, so there should never be any interference when drawing a bow.

I haven't hunted with it yet, but I can already tell that I'm in love with the design and the modularity of the entire system. I feel like I'm going to use this system for many, many, years to come.

Great harness, really enjoy all the attchements you can get for it and you can store quite a bit of stuff in it. 10/10

Love it! Fits great, look forward to buying more eberlestock gear

Disappointed. Accessory wings are too short so they fall off. I’ve ended up pinning them on so I don’t have to deal with them falling off every time I disconnect the chest straps. Back material could be higher grade ~ I left a competitor for this…
