Buying a good set of Nikon Binoculars is a big investment. You are buying high quality optics instead of settling for second rate. You might have even purchased the waterproof version for those days you might get caught out in the rain. Rain is not the biggest hazard to your binoculars, it could be your neck strap. Your neck strap leaves your binoculars in a vulnerable position. To protect your investment you should be using a Nikon Prostaff binocular harness.
The binocular harness gives you some big advantages for your binocular use. First, your optics are help closely to your body, instead of flopping around. This becomes even more important when you bend over to tie your shoes, look at an egg shell, or examine a fallen feather. With a neck strap, your expensive binoculars come swinging down in front of your face, with the potential to hit the ground.
As you walk through the park, your binoculars swing back and forth with every step. The constant pull on your neck, and bumping into your chest can become annoying. When you use a bino harness, the binoculars stay close to your body, no swinging, no banging into your chest. The binocular harness strap takes the stress off of your neck, putting the weight where it belongs, on your shoulders and back. You see it all the time, other birdwatchers carrying their binoculars in their hand. They became tired of wearing the binoculars. Their binoculars are now at their most vulnerable. As small bump, a little mis-step, and the binoculars could be broken.
You could put your binoculars away in the case to protect them, but as soon as you do, the one elusive bird you have been trying to find will show up. By the time you extract the binoculars it is gone. With your binoculars harness, the binoculars would have been resting on your chest comfortably waiting for action.
Your binoculars harness is not only great for binoculars, but can be used for your digital camera. Many birdwatchers love to capture the moment on camera. A camera on a neck strap gets in the way just like binoculars.
You will be surprised at how much difference it can make in your physical comfort. You won’t need a neck massage from carrying your binoculars around your neck for the day. With the weight properly distributed, your binoculars will feel lighter and more comfortable.
For your best day of birdwatching ever, switch to a binocular harness for added safety, comfort, and fast access.

Have you seen that other bird watcher, the one with the big smile, and the strange straps for his binoculars? The strapping system is called a binocular harness, and the reason he is smiling is from the lessons he’s learned. Here is the reasons a binocular harness can help you enjoy your day of bird watching.
1. No More Neck Strain – Everyone thinks of binoculars as being light, until they try a high quality set of optics. Suddenly those plastic toys from our childhood disappear into the background. High quality binoculars are heftier, and bulkier. Wearing their weight around your neck all day can create neck strain, and tension in your shoulders. With a binoculars harness, the weight transfers to your shoulders and back. Your discomfort is gone.
2. No More Swinging Binoculars – As you move around the park, moving, bending, turning, and walking, your binoculars are usually swinging with each movement. Unless you keep them in your hands all the time. Your binocular harness strap keeps your binoculars up against your body, and almost motionless as you move. Your hands are free to use for balance, or carrying other items.
3. No More Broken Binoculars – There is no guarantee you won’t break your binoculars, but the risk diminishes greatly. If you hand carry your binoculars, they are at the highest risk. You will have more chances to drop them or bump them into an obstacle. With a neck strap, and swinging binoculars you are still at a risk of damage. When you keep the binoculars against your body with a bino harness, it is in the safest location possible, other than sitting on the counter at home.
4. No more packing and unpacking your binoculars. Many bird watchers keep the binoculars in the case until they need them. They are safe and secure, and almost always a moment too late. You need your binoculars out and ready for viewing. Adding a Nikon Prostaff binocular harness for your Nikon binoculars allows you to keep them safe, and have them ready for action at the same time. You will get the binoculars out in the morning, and put them away at night.
Switching from a neck strap to a binocular harness takes a little getting used to. You are accustomed to the weight on your neck, and the neck massage at night. You’ll miss the swinging at every step. How will you ever justify new binoculars when this set is kept safe for years? Switching to a binoculars harness will be tough, no more fun complaining about the inconvenience of your binoculars. Or maybe, as most people who switch, you will fall in love at your first wearing of a binocular harness.
