Suggestions for quality, simple bino straps (not pouch/harness)

[winny94]

Try as I might, I just don't like the bulk of the traditional bino harnesses and looking for quality straps instead. I see Badlands has their "basics" yoke straps - any others worth looking into?

I tried the vortex ones and they just kept stretching. I would look for something leather or non stretchy.

I went with a marsupial and I have liked it so far. Interested to see what people suggest as well.

Rick young

I have the Rick young and the badlands. Almost always go for the Rick young. Mor adjustable, lower profile. If i wear it in “harness mode” for days on end, i can get some nerve pressure from an old injury, so I tend to wear it in different ways. Highly recommend.

The badlands is fine, but not as versatile. I don’t get the nerve pressure but it’s bulkier and there’s no way to keep the binos from bouncing.

Does the small diameter shock cord not dig in uncomfortably?

Ditto on Rick Young. I don't feel the shock cord straps digging in at all.

Does the small diameter shock cord not dig in uncomfortably?

I was worried about the exact same thing, but I haven't had an issue with it at all. I have a pair of 42mm and 32mm binos that I wear all the time with the RYO harness. I think the little bit of stretch in the cord helps distribute the weight.
