Probably the most common thing I hear from birders is, 'Why did I wait to get a harness for binoculars?' It seems like it's always the same story. Let me tell you exactly what they say...

'When I bought my expensive optics for birding, it came with a strap. So naturally I didn't feel the need to get another. After all, why would I worry about doing that? Then after the first day of birding, my neck felt incredibly sore. Well, what do you do? After several more outings, it got to the point where it was barely even enjoyable anymore, so I set out for a solution.' That's where the harness for binoculars comes in.

You see, a harness for binoculars is not just another strap. It's more than that. For anyone who has used it, it's a way of life. A harness for binoculars is a way of life because it will change your life. Next, I hear from birders is...

'So I tried a different neck strap, you know, the fuzzy kind. Yeah, that helped - a little. But at the end of the day my neck still hurt. Luckily, I ran across this harness for binoculars in one of the birding forums I'm always on. This thing made all the difference. Anyone who is a birder absolutely has to get a harness for binoculars.'

Hunters are all about their gear. And they should be because anything that will help them to get that big 8 point is well worth the investment. Birders are the same way. If you are an avid bird watcher, it is important that your neck doesn't hurt for days after the fact. Something else to consider about the harness for binoculars is not just the neck pain being taken away, it is also the safety feature for your equipment.

A harness for binoculars actually protects your equipment because it holds it close to your chest and lessens the range of motion it has. Anyone who has optics for birding knows the constant concern of their equipment as they are out and about. Again, that's another great reason for a harness for binoculars.
