What chest binos do you run? Western hunters only.

8x42 el range this season. Ran 10x for years, but going a different route this year.

As a newbie I'm running 10x50 vortex diamondbacks. The 10 power worked well offhand although in low light I do notice the lack of image clarity with my budget pick.

10x42 Swaro SLC, I run those on a tripod to scan a hillside and they will work up to about a mile clearly. I went through the gammit of optics. I ran 12x50 razors with a Gen 1 Razor 85 spotter I liked it but hand holding was a bit of a pain. I find myself going back to the 10x42 for chest binos. I'm saving for 15x56 SLC's and a STS 20-60x 65mm

8.5x42 EL's on promaster tripod and rick young harness. No need for a spotter yet.

Thank you all for your input!

Monarch 7, 10x42. Half the price of others and just as good. I can tell the difference between $10 and $50 bourbon, but not sophisticated enough to tell the difference in $200 booze. Try these before you go big.

10x42 Leica HD-B on chest with 15x56 swaro and pro master tripod in pack.

Ran with Zeiss 10 x 42 for decades until the last 2 years with Nikon Laserforce 10 x 42. Kept the Zeiss though.

Try maven c series 10x42 there $400 and very good glass.

I don’t think it gets better then good 15s on the tripod and good 8x32 on chest(or Tripod)

Swarovski 8x30 CL Companion in a light weight kuiu harness. Extremely effective and light enough to not feel you are carrying them. I like to get into some tough terrain but also can glass Way further than I would have thought with them.

I carry my 8x42 in my bino harness. I might be going to one binocular, so I might want a 10x42 instead, but for a two bino system, 8x for chest binos makes the most sense to me.

12x50EL's, don't need anything else for my hunting. I can freehand them no problem and if I am going to sit for extended periods of time I set them on my shooting sticks of trekking pole.

I love the Sitka bino harness. I have the vortex viper HD 10x50

 

[unclericco]

I use my Leica Ultravid HD 10x42 on thenchest with Swaro BTX in the pack. Went back and forth on switching to the Swaro 15x56 and still might eventually.

Swaro SLC 10x42 in chest harness or on tripod. When treestand hunting back home I take my Brunton Eterna 8X45 with a cheap crooked horn chest strap

 

[Walking Birds]

10x50 Vipers, I think they're good for hand holding and carrying in chest rigs, but can also run on the tripod for when I don't want/need to carry the 15s
