That was my biggest concern as well. The one I was planning to build would've tucked backward between the shoulder straps so it could never bee in the way. That's why I've never been a big fan of like the Badlands design, but this one actually stays pretty tight to the harness when it's forward. Didn't think I'd like a forward folding design but this one seems to work well.Looks like a great product and well designed. Kudos on the personal touch with the note. Do you think the bino cover or flap, when it sits forward in the open position...would get in the way of your bow string? I have avoided designs where the cover flap falls forward because bow string contact was always a concern and I didn't want to buy one just to try it. I fear this occuring in one of those "shit happens" moments under high pressure field conditions before a shot. I could see me forget to get that flap secured with the magnets. Plus, I'm a little negative on magnet closures for archery hunting. I had one of those Badlands bino harness in the past and that occasional "snap" that occurs due to magnets can cost you a close encounter stalk with the bow. They should put a little bit of fleece on them to avoid that "snap" sound if you forget to put the flap down gently.
No problem, I like to help she'd any light I can on new stuff that's not getting enough attention.I asked this question before and don't remember if i got an answer or I just forgot the answer.
Do those magnets affect a handheld compass? After a hinky compass experience in a blinding snow storm I'm a little hesitant to have magnets and a compass within arms reach. I prefer to stay unlost.
The bino pack and harness look terrific and thanks for the video.
Short answer is yes within about 8/10 inches will affect compass and GPS. I don't find it a deal breaker and just hold it further out. I have forgotten and wandered for a bit thinking wtf I know it's that way. I like my GPS on my pack shoulder strap and that will not work with the magnets. I really like the features and the way the lid functions opened and closed but compass can be drama if you forget and hold it in the normal positionI asked this question before and don't remember if i got an answer or I just forgot the answer.

Hahaha I was wondering if that would catch any eyes. That was just a breakdown of all tag and license cost as a non resident, for all big game species in the western United States. Rather than always having to look it up, I decided to write it all out so I could actually SEE what it was gonna cost at a glance. Come to find out I can't afford to hunt out of state this season haha.Nice review, is that your tag budget on the board behind you?
