Well I think I will pick it up and get the additional bino insert sleeve. I know its not for everybody but I will say Im surprised on a fair amount of negative feedback. Those who have it seem to like it so that's good.
Any one use one of these out hunting?

Keep in mind that most of the people posting negative feedback in this thread haven't used these packs before and are simply making assumptions.

I wonder about the pistol. Why would one put their pistol under their chin and behind a zipper, when a myriad of good holsters are available?
Oddly enough end up in a similar situation guiding Grizzly on the coast for chest carrying gear. Wear Simms chest waders that have the big pouch in a similar location and it gets loaded with my licences and permits (you get a book of them outfitting in BC), satellite communication, spare magazine, flashlight, scalpel, sheath knife, and a few granola bars etc. It’s a handy spot when wading all the time as it keeps everything dry. If I didn’t have to be in the water all the time I wouldn’t choose the chest location likely mind you.

Not likely... probably the degree of openness in the stance, which is often dictated by drawlength... too long a draw length and the stance will be more closed with the string running closer to the body. Stance dictates drawlength and drawlength dictates stance... there is a balance between a functional drawlength and maximizing drawstoke efficiency. You can get away with a lot more when wearing only a T-shirt when practicing in the summer, but bulky hunting clothes (and the addition of a "Titty-Tote"), will demand a much more open stance, ergo, a shorter drawlength.
I don't have to try it to see that it's impractical...... How are you even supposed to see what's inside when you are wearing it?........ Besides, it looks like something a suicide bomber would wear..... No knocker locker for this guy, thanks.....
Nice. Very nice.
I'm here all day..... Try the veal....
Every hunting situation is different. I'm considering putting together a molle vest for certain hunts. I like to go after blacktails in steep, thick terrain on those days when the wind is howling and the rain is coming in sidways out here on the wet coast.
Binos in a coat doesn't work well as you need them all the time and your pocket fills up with water and crap and they are difficult to get in and out. If they're not in a pouch of some sorts the lenses are full of water, leaves and sticks.
A back pack is useless as it gets hung up in the thick stuff and nothing in is accesable. A chest rig makes sense as it takes as little movement as possible to retrieve them, use them and put them back. Many times the deer is 70 yds away dug in, in the thickest crap immaginable but is looking right at you when you spot him with the binos.
If the binos are hard to access you won't use them as often as you need to and where I hunt you won't find the deer without them.
I'm more interested in dragging home a deer than being fashionable....espectially when I put myself through the s$it that I put myself through to get to where they live.

Shame on you! It's obviously intended as a fold-down work table for in-the-field reloading. You just clamp your reloading press to it when it's in the down position, and then custom load your Berger high-BC bullets for those long-range shots into the next postal code. When you're done, it all goes back into the pack and Bob's your uncle!
How's that not practical???
