Ive just upgraded my thermal spotter to ATN 650 with 50mm objective lens. Sadly it is too large to fit the original Harkila pouch, even with hand strap removed. Do you think the pouch on the new one is large enough for a 50mm lens thermal?
Was going to ask this very question too. There are so many different sized thermals these days. Wound be good to know the internal dimensions of the thermal pocket 👍
@@TheDeercast sorry to be a pain, but could you measure depth of thermal pouch too please? I wonder if it could have, should have been a little more generous?
But the Ridgeline bino harness for a fraction of the cost add a couple of pouches the same way... and buy some more bullets with the difference. Job done
Have the original version and biggest issue is the open sides even when closed. This allows debris and water into your optics, other systems - mainly US ones fully enclose and protect the binos. The new pouches look good. Paul@testvalleyvenison
In general I’m prepared to pay a premium for what I consider to be the best designed and best quality product but I’ve got to say that Harkila seem to have pushed the price too far for the basic case & harness. The accessory pouch prices are beyond ridiculous for what they are.
So £232 if I want the surplus pouches as-well just to carry bino’s. Harkila are the fashion brand of shooting and you. Pay a premium for the quality but they’ve crossed into the realm of absurd with this one and its pricing
Helpful review , thanks !
Decent video Tom, well done.
Good review.... a bit oricey for what it is especially when you can get Marsupial gear one direct from the states for less and they are really good
Thank you.
Looks good, on par with American gear monetary wise.

@@janekeithedmunds2637 the thermal pouch is round and at its widest I’d say is approx 75mm
@@TheDeercast thanks for info....maybe a fold over top flap to cover the thermal in rain would have been a benefit too.
@ it has a draw string top, so you can cover the thermal if you want to.
