FIRST...NO INSTRUCTIONS! Now, I'm not THAT stupid and I'm pretty good at figuring MOST things out... :lol: They LOOK like they are using either a couple of rings(similar to one of the most used key-ring of all time) OR WIRE TIES to attach the binocular/rangefinder to the strap. It completely looks like a jacked-up outfit..

Chuck, I have a harness by IPI, Inovative Products Inc, on my Nikon Monarch's and it works very well.

Pat...That one I REALLY like! Not only does it keep your binoculars/rangefinder from flopping around it protects them from the enviroment as well. It's going to be on its way to Athens, AL. Thanks!

I wonder if you can put those on a heavy winter jacket? I couldnt find any information about that.

Hey Chuck, I have the exact same item you are referring to! They have worked very well for me on a pair of Pentax binos. I carry them with the harness mostly for spring turkey hunting when I expect to do a lot of walking. The Cabela's strap is made by Crooked Horn Outfitters. The only complaint I would have is the zip ties that they give you to attach the split rings with......I thought that was a pretty cheap way of going about it! I couldn't think of a better way of doing it, but I did use a little heavier black zip tie than they provided and they do work OK. The harness DOES make walking and carrying binos MUCH more comfortable without the side-to-side swinging you usually get with just a neck strap. Anyway, that's my experience with them!

Badlands makes a glass pack that may address your needs. I don't have one, but I've owned Badlands packs before, and they are absolutely the finest hunting packs made -- Period. Maybe worth a look...much better quality than the cheap harness that you and I both have...

With the cost of the Leica's Iwould use a log chain and 2 padlock's-but really I have used the crooked horn carry strap for 2 years now and have went fom regular wind river bino's to the rb800 and love it-did put some bigger zip ties though,just my 2 cents.
