a binocular chest strap. Does anyone have one? are they good. When i go hunting and the binoculars are around my neck they tend to bounce around a little and these chest straps help to position them in a good place. Are they worth it and whats the cost?

I have one, and what I like about it is its elastic so after it's adjusted , when you aren't looking through the binos, it holds them to your chest so they aren't bouncing around like they would with a normal strap.  I think I paid something like $20-30 or so for them.

I have one of the Cabelas ones and I love it. My binoculars are 10X50 Nikons and the strap takes the weight off of your neck and stops the thumping and makes them alot more comfortable to carry.

I also have one. I'm pretty sure it was less than $20. Work pretty good with my 10x40s. I saw them on TV and figured they looked like they'd work . I think they're Crooked Horn Outfitters or something.

The ones I have are from Cabelas for about $20. They work just like the ads say which is refreshing. The only trouble I have is you need to remove them to shoot prone or low crawl. Regular bino straps are easy on and off or you can throw them over your shoulder. God bless and good hunting.

I just tuck mine in my coat,but i have seen them in the cabelas catologue look like a good piece of kit,anybody tried the double rifle sling,the one that carries your rifle like a back pack?

I use a length of parachute cord tied on to the binocular strap in back.  I thread it though my belt loop in back and adjust the cord/strap so that the binouculars just swing up to my eyes.  When not in use I tuck them inside my hunting vest  (hunter orange required) to keep them out of the rain, snow and having the eyepieces covered with bits of tree needles or bark.

I also have some that fold up and fit in my shirt pocket for bowhunting.

My set is from Swarovski Optik and I really  enjoy using them. Not sure what they cost-----I won them as part of a door prize package at a Friends of the NRA banquet. They work great for binos,cameras or rangefinders.          Jack
