WINNER: Best Overall BINOCULAR harness

"The consensus pick as the top binocular harness in our field, the Eberlestock Recon offers excellent binocular protection, but its main asset is the ease with which accessories attach to the base unit. The base Recon does its job, carrying and protecting a binocular, with style and ease, and is one of the best all-around binocular harnesses our testers have ever encountered." - Outdoor Life

The Recon Modular System™ is a low-profile, quiet, modular optics harness and accessories system designed to adapt to any hunt, mission or adventure. The Recon Modular System consists of six compatible accessories that attach to the Bino Harness platform using either MOLLE webbing or our hook and loop cumberbund attachment. The Recon Bino Harness serves as a base to accommodate any combination of its six accessories and is available in large or small sizes. The Recon Bino Harness is operable by one hand, using a magnetic closure to secure the lid in the open or closed configuration. An inner quick-detach lanyard ensures the security of your binoculars.

Best bino harness I have used!

The recon harness is made to customize for what you want. I put the two side pouches and hand warmer with the pistol piece. I used it this year in Wyoming for the elk hunt it was super comfortable to wear pretty much all day! I would recommend it to anyone!

Best Harness I have seen

This is incredibly modular, good price, great retention bungee cables, low vis, and sleek/slimline

Hands down the best

This is the best bino harness I've had to date! The versatility is hands down the best. So many molle accessories to choose from and customize it to your own needs. To describe it in one word, "Fantastic!"

Great Pack

Love this pack. Super comfy with lots of options. My only gripe is that the hand warmer has been out of stock for awhile. Hunting late season in NW Montana that hand warmer would be awesome. Other than that. I love it.

Exactly what i was looking for

I have a pair of 15c56 Leicas that I love but are a pain in the neck “literally” to carry around,
The Recon pack is perfect!! The fit couldn’t be better. Awesome product, looking forward to many adventures with them.

Surprised and disappointed

I’ve been running this harness a couple of weeks now, as well as the range finder pouch. For the purpose of having a binocular harness I’ve been very pleased. It definitely beats just basic straps around your neck, but it is a give and take. While the basic strap around your neck it makes your bino a minimal impact to you but they can flop around. With this harness it keeps them in place and protected but does add a little bulk. The additional pockets are great for storing extra rounds, chapstick, camera cards and even a small camera all the little things that take up room and now have easy access to.

On to the disappointment, one other main reason I obtained this was the option of running the moly panel to which I could then carry a pistol. Usually not done comfortably in bulky clothes. It may be my personal preference but I’m having to already run the harness pretty high on my chest without making it feel like the binos are on my chin, but once you add your pistol and try to sit down seems to just get in the way. I wouldn’t consider myself overweight but do have a little beer gut and the pistol makes me feel like I gained 30lbs and all in the belly. It starts to get in the way and hit everything with it. Not ideal for trying to be stealthy.

Overall, little disappointed it’s not a more effective of having a carry option, regardless of that I am starting to like the harness more and more just for binos. Still waiting on the utility pouch to go on the other side just for more storage.

Like it so far

Like that it’s versatile with add-on options, including a way to attach a pistol underneath. However, those add-on pieces are pricey in my opinion. Also like the magnetic cover so that you can open and close it without making a sound. Wish it’s waterproof, though there is a rain cover that you can buy separately.
