Bino harness comparison

KUIU PRO G3 vs. Lone Trail LT2

The decision starts with magnets. If you want a premium harness that closes with a cinch lid instead of magnets, in a waterproof-membrane softshell, KUIU has the stronger case. If you want quiet magnetic access, open MOLLE and included pouches for $75, compare the LT2.

Decision tree

Four questions, in order.

  1. Do you want a harness without magnets?Yes: KUIU. The PRO G3 closes with a forward-folding cinch lid; its product page lists no magnetic closure. Both Lone Trail harnesses use magnets.
  2. Is a waterproof membrane a top priority?Yes: KUIU deserves the premium. The PRO G3 is a fleece-lined softshell with a waterproof membrane. The LT2 is water-resistant 500D Cordura under StealthStalk, not waterproof.
  3. Open MOLLE or KUIU Rail-Lock?Rail-Lock is a purpose-built, quiet, integrated accessory system. Standard MOLLE lets you mix compatible pouches across brands, including the two that come in the LT2 box.
  4. Does the price difference matter?KUIU harness $129; the KUIU bino and rangefinder set $179. LT2 with rangefinder pouch and utility pouch, $75; with the optional tether, $90 before the rig discount.

Rail-Lock vs MOLLE

Accessory ecosystems, accurately.

KUIU advantage

Rail-Lock is a purpose-built, quiet, integrated system: rangefinder holder, phone, bear spray, pocket, hydration, all designed to click into the same harness.

Lone Trail advantage

Standard MOLLE makes it easy to mix compatible accessories across brands, and the two pouches most hunters buy first are already in the box.

Reviews

From hunters running the LT2 and the LT1 platform.

Quiet
William HensonVerified buyer

LT2 Bino Harness

I absolutely love the harness, it has a bunch of storage and is super quiet.

Fit
JosephVerified buyer

I took a chance on this product as I couldn't find many reviews. So therefore I'll leave my review in hopes it helps someone else. This is well worth the price and it fits my Vortex 10x42 and lots of room to spare. The material is soft and surprisingly supple. I'm a big guy and it fits with room to spare. ...

Durability
Jason BCustomer review

Solid

Good quality. I just got done crawling through some of Colorados roughest terrain for a week while wearing this. It’s held up strong. I like the magnets instead of buttons or Velcro.

Value
Ryan MelendrezCustomer review

Great deal!!

My option the quality is comparable to other bino harness that cost 4 times the amount.

Shown as written and labeled with the harness they were left on. The LT1 and LT2 share the same chest pack, straps and magnetic access.

If you want no magnets, buy KUIU. If you do not, decide whether the rest is worth another $50 or more.

LT2: quiet magnetic access, StealthStalk exterior, rangefinder and utility pouches included, standard MOLLE, $75.
