I have used the RY harness for 3 years now, the cord is still as strong as the day I bought it. Weighs 1 oz and holds my heavy swaro ELR 10x42 very well. I like the way it glides up the cord but even better is the adjustment. It holds the cord even on each loop so its never out of balance and I can adjust it on the fly walking. Wet or dry makes no diff. I saw the review in Sports Afield last year. Check it out! i think it was June issue
