This spring, I was able to test out the new for 2026 Kifaru Mesa Bino Harness System on a bear hunt. I used their Deluxe Bino Harness on the majority of my hunts in 2025, so what follows are my thoughts on the updates they made.
For starters, I love gear, and I'm very fortunate to get to test and use a variety of products from brands. Which is why I wanted to try out their Deluxe Bino Harness last year. And now I'm glad I did as I can directly compare the changes they made and how it made Kifaru's bino harness, even better.
Right off the bat you'll notice the Mesa Bino Harness has more structure to it. You can easily see this in photos, but more importantly, when you put one in your hand, these differences really stand out.
