I’d searched for non-magnetic closure cases but could not seem to find one that would fit. I too have a Kestrel and Garmin chrono and hope that the soon to arrive case—with magnetic closure—will not prove to be problematic. But I appreciate your reply.
Thank you for the suggestion, but after reading several of the recent posts I am reluctant to buy a harness with magnetic closure, and the Marsupial is magnetic as per their website. Additionally, I have a KUIU Pro on order. Hopefully it is not magnetic, as the product description makes no mention of same.
Just as an FYI in case you return that SG harness:

Thank you, I will keep your suggestions in mind if I need to replace the KUIU.Just as an FYI in case you return that SG harness:

X2, It's what I use for my leica 2700's. Holds them good plus has tethers for when out of the case, lots of extra pockets for other things too
Given the relatively rigid construction of the KUIU I doubt that it will stretch to conform to the binos, so I am returning them and have ordered the ‘large’ FHF. It’s only available in bright orange, not my first choice, but I’ll give it a try. Their website indicates that the large model fits the Geovid Pro 10x42, and I assume that the dimensions are the same as those for the AB+ model.Just as an FYI in case you return that SG harness:

I’ve only had it a few days, and I am still trying to decipher the manual as it relates to the 2 control buttons. The glass is excellent, the weight is reasonable, but I am having some issues with both the Leica Ballistics app and or my Kestrel transmitting ballistic data to the binos, as in, the data does not appear in the binos. I’ve searched all online videos and they have not been helpful. I suspect that it is a setting that I’ve overlooked, but the manual is not very explanatory. I may have to call Leica support after the weekend unless someone on this site chimes in with first hand knowledge of the AB+.
This is a followup to your question in re the Leica Geovid 10x42 AB+.
Hello, and thank you for your suggestion. However, I am returning the Geovids.
I’d be interested to see how the two binos compare once you get the sigs in
I’ve spent more time with the Kilo 10’s, and based upon my recollection of the Geovid's resolution of distant targets, I can say that the Leica is/was somewhat sharper, but the tradeoff is the Kilo’s excellent rangefinder with all of the important shooting parameters visible on screen at the same time—something the Leica cannot do without cycling screens— as well as a very visible reticle in the presence of bright sunlight, something the Geovid struggled with. Furthermore, rendering of ranging data is much faster on the Kilo. Returning to image sharpness, while the Leica’s optics are indeed sharper, those of the Kilo in no way limit target acquisition. I will be keeping the Kilo.
The search was for a harness for the 10x42, but I had stopped my search when I’d returned the Leica 10x42 AB+ in exchange for a Sig Kilo 10X42 AB HD Gen II, which fits nicely in an Alaskan Creations Classic MAX.
