I wore my new vortex bino's with this harness and it fits and feels great. Can't wait to wear it archery hunting. The stretch cord is way better than the wide bulky straps of others . Thanks, Rick Young outdoors!!

Replaced our standard harnesses after using borrowed bins with Rick Young's invention. Within a week we bought another pair for our compact binoculars. They stay put when biking and don't stretch like regular harnesses. Also easier to pack.

These are the best I've found for harness type binos straps. Don't stretch out and dangle too low like more elastic fabric straps.

Extremely comfortable, feels good when adjusted to snug while not binding in any way...great design in the cord pulley

Have used the Bino Harness recently on holiday and found it very easy to put on, it did not drag on my neck which was particularly great as I was also carrying a bag, a still and video camera sometimes and sun glasses. I had to make sure I put my bag over on to the other shoulder first before putting on the harness. As far as I am concerned it is an excellent product.
The only thing I would have liked and, to be honest, I am not sure if it was mentioned when I ordered or not, was to know that there could be an import tax - I am not used to buying products from abroad so I did not realize this. Also being delivered by Royal Mail they charge an extra £8 as they pay the tax and charge you for doing so.

I meet Rick at a show in Redding CA and after watching his demonstration I bought 2 pairs of the bino straps one for me and one for my dad. I had added two extra clips one on each side one for my GPS and one for my range finder I thought it would be way too heavy and bulky but it actually works really nice. I mostly bow hunt and with the different options and styles your able to wear them comes in really handy in different scenarios. I could imagine going back to my old bino strap. I could never get the old ones to fit right and then if you had to put a jacket on or off then you had to readjust the whole thing one side at a time ugh!. It was a never ending battle.

Thank you for coming up with such a great product.

I just received my 2nd strap last week which will go on a pair of Swarovski 15's. As a lifelong bowhunter I have been using the strap on a pair of Leica 10X40's for nearly 2 years now and they are awesome. They don't weigh anything and hold the binos securely against my chest during my many spot and stalks I do every year. Many of these stalks involve crawling and while I have tried using some of the popular bino cases that go around your neck none of them work for me as I'm crawling as much as I'm standing up straight and the cases just get in the way. Another thing is that every other strap I have ever seen, even those without a case gets hot. My early season hunting in Aug/Sept can often be in the 70-80's and the last thing I want is some bulky strap and harness around my back and shoulders. You can't go wrong buying these.

Ordered and recieved harnesses for both my wife and me just prior to our ten-day trip to Point Pelee, where they got a good test. They passed with flying colors. Easy on -- easy off. Versatile -- I use mine in "neck strap" mode because I carry a DSLR/telephoto-lens with a cross-body
strap. My wife used it in harness mode and loved it. The thing I most appreciate is the compactness, which allows
you to simply wrap it around your binoculars and stow them away in a bag without the extra clutter of more traditional straps. I can also commend Rick's fast service and his accomodating our special shipping request.

Over the years, I've used just about every bino harness I could get my hands on. I've used the optics manufacturer's included straps and harnesses, standard "X" fashion straps, Badlands' bino case, and most recently the S4 Gear LockDown. I have never been satisfied with any of them. I was always readjusting the straps or dealing with my binos flopping against my chest or hanging down and hitting the ground while trying to low crawl. Not to mention the additional weight / bulk of the Badlands and LockDown, and the added steps of getting to my glass and putting it away. A couple months back, by happenstance, I came across Rick Young's products. I watched all the videos and read any reviews I could find and decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. This harness is something totally different than anything else I've tried. The weight is imperceptible yet it is strong enough to hold my heavy Leupold Gold Rings right where I want them - no more flopping around or slipping down. The harness even held up to the added weight of my GPS hanging from a dual attachment clip under my right arm. It's a snap to put on and adjust while wearing without having to be a contortionist. I wish I would have come across this sooner, I would have saved a bunch of money and hassle. I also picked up a neoprene cover and ultra-light bino cover. I keep the ultra-light cover clipped to the split-ring on my harness at all times and use the neoprene when I want the additional protection.
