Sits perfectly in place so the binoculars are easily accessible. The binoculars are also well protected against weather and dust.
The ropes at the bottom to fasten the binoculars with are somewhat short, but are easy to extend with your own ribbon.
In cold weather and a lot of clothing, it can be a bit cumbersome to take off and on.

Good quality, perfect for hunting. DDOptics Night Hunter 8*56 fits perfect

In Small size, surprisingly compact and perfectly sized for Leica Geovid R 10x42 binoculars (dimensions in working condition ~125x174x70). Modularity is smartly implemented. The accessory installation locations are not in the way, even if the accessories are not used. A good small zippered pocket in the front, an open pocket in the back for e.g. a phone, which stays warm against the chest in cold weather.
The microfiber-like surface material is moderately quiet. The harness is sturdy, comfortable and fairly easy to put on.
A couple of small minuses. It is difficult to dig out a larger phone from the back pocket, because the attachment points of the harness are in the way. The binocular cords on the inside are sewn to the bottom. You can put the cord ends in the pockets, but they are still a bit in the way if they are not in use. It is up to you whether you want to cut them off completely.
Mountain suits Finland well. In the picture (02-2024) it looks darker than it really is. Skye is too brown. No experience with Mirage.
All in all, a great crank for binocular carriers.
