Binocular Harness Review

by Bart Icles on June 12, 2010

Last fall I borrowed some binoculars with a binocular harness strap from my uncle for a mule deer hunt in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. Though, I hadn’t used a binocular harness system before, I was excited, hoping it would cure many of the problems I had experienced to that point with a traditional binocular strap around the neck.

I had heard good things about the Nikon binocular harness such as the Nikon Prostaff binocular harness, or others. This bino harness was very similar to these, yet better in several ways. It seemed to have a few added features that would be very nice, like a more adjustable fit, and a one-shoulder way of wearing it.

As we began our long hike in to the spot where we planned to hunt, I noticed how easily the binocular harness worked while wearing a large backpack. Traditionally wearing binoculars with a backpack was very awkward and uncomfortable. The harness worked beautifully, and stayed out of the way the entire time, while remaining fully functional.

I could wear the bino harness under the straps of my pack without any discomfort, pull them up to scan a hillside without any interference from backpack straps, and then easily take the backpack off without it tangling with the harness in any way. It was literally a dream come true!

The next morning found us locating the buck we had been watching at dusk the night before. While staying low, and carrying my rifle in one hand, the binocular strap harness allowed me to use my binoculars with one hand to keep an eye on my buck. The binocular shoulder harness worked flawlessly as I snuck to within 200 yards of my trophy. One well-placed shot, and within an hour, I had filled my tag with a nice, trophy mule deer. Much thanks to mybinocularharness.com, for helping to make my deer hunt a success! Since then, I have played around with several makes and models, and I can truly say, this binoculars harness is the best I have found for comfort, durability, reliability, and functionality. And it’s a lot cheaper than any others I have seen!
