This ingenious strap keeps your binoculars and rangefinders, even cameras, from jostling around as you walk—freeing up the use of your hands. Also helps keep your binoculars close to your chest and out of the way.
Nylon/Lycra straps are durable and allow for easy sliding of binoculars into viewing position.
One-size-fits-all harness is easy to attach and completely adjustable.
