Bino harness
- Thread starter Spoony
- Start date
I think they're great but only just a minute ago read another thread which mentioned they're restrictive when changing layers etc (which is true). I like them because on the hill I find it stops the bin's bouncing around on my chest when walking in and out. It also stops them dangling to the ground sooner than they otherwise might when crouching. I suppose it depends on what type of stalking you do.

I have leica binos and they come with a broad stretchy strap that doesn't dig in, I use to use a bino harness but I found it a pain in the arse if you had to lie prone as you can not move the binoculars round to your back out of your way.

I would say go for the Badlands...

but they've put their prices up a h*ll of a lot due to "increased costs in obtaining the rare earth magnets" used in the closure mechanism; that said, if you're spendng serious coin on top-end glass such as Swaros, Leica, etc. then it's good insurance IMHO

Even the cheapest ones are well worth having.
If you want 'Gucci' though, these are pretty good:
Badlands binocase
(oops!...beaten to it by Kbar!)

Would not be without them. Quick release or push out of way if you lying down. Much more comfortable with zero neck pain

Butler creek harness for me too. Works well and is comfortable.

run the slimg a bit longer than normal and sling them over your head with one arm through the sling
they sit on your hip/waist, can be slid up to the eye just as easily, dont bounce around and can be pushed out the way for prone work easily
and it doesnt look like you are wearing a bra!

Should have said that they only average about £15 as one of the other posters said. Take a look at optics warehouse as they stock about five different makes. You have seen mine spooney.

I use them all the time crawling theough a hedge this morning caused me no trouble if I had been using a normal neck strap it would have been much more difficult.trick is to get them adjusted correctly I always have to tighten them if doing a lot of crawling say on the hill.

S4gear lockdown brilliant but not cheap. I use it with my Zeiss rf 10x50. Worth the investment if you have expensive glass.
