Marsupial Bino Harness

[Flatlander3]

I was set on purchasing the Marsupial bino harness, then I listened to the recent Rokslide bino harness podcast, which brought up not being 100% enclosed with the sides being open allowing dust/dirt/snow in. I never realized this but is a very good point that is making me second guess.

Has this been an issue for anyone that has this harness?

Not been an issue for me - 2 years now.

ive had marsupials for two years now with the added range finder pocket. i have yet to find any issues with them. now i'm an eastern stand hunter but rain and snow have never gotten to mine

I also have the marsupial harness. No problems with dirt or dust.

I love mine. No issues at all here but i also use caps on the binos themselves as well, even when in the harness.

I just finished my 1st season with the Marsupial, and I haven't had any issues. I do however have my caps on (the ocular caps, not the objectives) my Viper 10x50s that I leave on when I'm storing them or when going through thick brush/bad weather, but the rest of the time I leave the flap open and love the quick access to my binoculars

I went with the outdoor vision setup and have been very happy. Brother in law has marsupial and loves his, wife FHF setup and loves hers. Kinda like backpacks it seems like, if you choose to go with one of the top 3 or 4 companies I'm sure it'll workout for you.

Was a little skeptical about the openings on the side at first, but I am very happy with my Marsupial harness after using it. Love how the flap folds forward out of the way instead of toward the chest and always in the way of pulling your binos out.

I have 5 bino harnesses and stopped looking when I bought the marsupial. Side ports are a non issue.

That’s the best thing about the Marsupial.

I crawled all over Eastern Wyoming wearing mine and no dust issues and I don’t keep the caps on mine. The bino harness is perfect in every way. Phone sits perfect in the pocket on back side of harness and I keep my license in the front zipper pocket.

Only gripe with the range finder pocket is that if you let it go on it’s own the magnet makes a noticeable (to me) click noise. I’m sure the animals don’t hear it but I do and it drives me nuts.

They're a good harness but you will get snow in them if you are belly crawling or sliding around in fine snow. I had to get a few snowballs out of the bottom of mine half way through the day. Overall, I'm really happy with the Marsupial. They worked like a charm in Wyoming in October and they will go on that trip every time.
I'm going to throw down on the AGC harness for next year's November rifle hunts in the snow.

Good to know all. Thank you.

Another +1 with no issues. I love mine, been using it for over a year now and haven't gotten any debris in there.
