Product Description

From the Manufacturer
This lightweight, convenient harness takes the weight of your binoculars off your neck and distributes it evenly across your shoulders. Your binoculars are attached to the elastic shoulder straps with a secure, quick release connection designed to move smoothly and easily up and down the straps for quick access.

Product Description
Although it's okay to use your binoculars with neck strap that usually comes included, prolonged use of a binocular for birding, sports, even during rugged mobility, can strain your neck and posture. The Nikon Pro Staff Suspender Harness Binocular Strap provides steady binocular support with less strain on you.

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent bino harness..., January 10, 2007

By	John Doe (Gambier, OH United States) - See all my reviews

This is a decent, pretty standard bino harness. If you're still using the neck strap, the benefits of the harness are that you don't have a sore neck at the end of the day, your binos don't bounce and swing on your chest as you walk or do other activities, and it slightly stabilizes your grip while viewing. The harness is highly superior to the neck strap!!!

Down sides of this model: The quick-release clasps are actually a little tricky to unclasp. Maybe this is a good thing if you have super-expensive binos, but I find it a little frustrating. Also, the plastic strap-junction pieces aren't designed quite as ergonomically as they could be. There's a big "Nikon" logo on the back that I wish wasn't there. But if you find it for a competitive price, go for it.

Another downside: The bino harness makes you look like you're some tool thinking he's tough because he's wearing a pseudo-gun-holster (ie Gareth Keenan's cell phone holster in "The Office").

2.0 out of 5 stars Harness was not as shown in the picture., March 14, 2007

By	D. Culver (Washington) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this harness because of the connecting straps from the harness to the binoculars. I have compact binoculars and wanted the extention straps for a better fit. The set I received did not have the extention straps included. The harness was the same as all the other harnesses I could buy locally for much less money with the only difference being the name on the back. If you are buying these because of the extention straps, you should email the seller first to make sure the straps are included before spending the extra dollars. They were well made, just not the same item as shown in the picture.

5.0 out of 5 stars OK with Nikon Monarch Bino's, May 6, 2008

By	RJT (NY) - See all my reviews

As noted by another reviewer, AT FIRST, I too thought there was no way to attach these to the Nikon Monarch strap anchors as the clips are too thick. However, Nikon includes a small plastic bag containing 2 small metal rings (much like heavy duty key rings) which attach to the bino anchors and the clips then attach to them. It works perfectly and I'm sure makes it workable for just about any set of bino's. I would note that I almost overlooked these rings as the small bag had fallen onto the floor when I openned the package up. Once I saw them it became obvious what they were for. Perhaps these went unnoticed by the previous reveiwer or were missing entirerly.

Overall a quality product. Maybe a simple diagram of the attachment point would resolve any confusion.
