I like the FHF harness that I borrowed from a friend. Crawled about 400 yards while pronghorn hunting n didnt get any debris or dust or anything on his bino's.  

Very comfortable and easy to use

My Leica's go in the pocket of my shirt. Well worth the money.

A buddy just bought these and I was able to use them for a few days.  This is a great system and you don't feel the strap on your neck all day.

I've been using the Crooked Horn harness for years. Easy to glass when I want to and the harness keeps my binoculars close to my chest and away from the bowstring when I shoot. Works for me.

I actually used my brothers bino strap once and just shook my head afterward, maybe old school, but I like some paracord, I make it to where I can adjust it under my strong arm, or if stalking cinch it up to where it sits high chest.  Paracord and learning few knots cheap and priceless.

I never really found a harness I liked.  I now just slip/tuck them under the front strap of my Safari Tuff quiver and find that I like that the best.....

X a bunch!   Seems to well for me. If I'm wearing a jacket, I put the harness under that, then I can tuck mt binos inside to keep the debris/weather off.

I've had the Crooked Horn harness for as long as I can remember.  One thing I didn't like when hunting out west with it and my 8 x 42 binos is that I couldn't always get them in the right position that was best for both climbing and for using them. Strap tension was a compromise accordingly.  For spot & stalk hunting I have now gone to using more compact glass accordingly.  Their minimal weight as compared to my usual 8 x 42 binos makes it worthwhile even though they offer slightly less field of view due to their size.

Usually in my pack.  I have a piece of parachute cord tied to them and hang them on a bow hook in the tree or when I am in the blind I hang them on my chair.

Crooked horn or, if I'm wearing a jacket, factory strap and binos in the jacket. Crooked horn does let them bang around a little while climbing but I use that as a reminder to slow down.
