What are some good bino straps?  I am looking at the badlands, but looking for other input.  Thanks

The one made by Nimrod is my favorite so far.

Crooked Horn Oufitters

Thanks guys now trying to find a place to get them.

They sell Crooked Horn straps at my local Wal-Mart and Gander Mountain. The Crooked Horns are the only ones I've ever felt comfortable enough to shoot with while wearing.

I also like crooked horns bino cover. The strap keeps it on your chest but the cover holds it tight. Keed the strap tight, it cost me two deer with the string just knicking the binos!!

One more vote Crooked Horn.

I've used Crooked Horn on several elk hunts and the past 5-6 years deer hunting. I'm rarely without my binos so I wear them scouting, hunting, hiking etc. I really like the Crooked Horn and can't really say that the elastic has stretched out much. Recently I bought the Badlands Bino pack and will try it out. I liked that it protected the glass a bit better than the fleece cover I bought for the the Crooked horn system.

I try to shoot with the straps on also to hopefully work out any problems before they happen.

I see on the Wensel Bros. site that they are selling a rather unique looking starp. Haven't useed one, but they're worth a look. I use one from Cabelas and it's OK, but I'm not as endorsing as the Crooked Horn guys. Now I want to try that one.

Mike Deppe from Woody Weights has one he makes from braided 550 cord.  I've never liked the various elastic models, but that is the best I've found so use them begrudginly.  I'm going to pick one of Mike's up at the next function I see him at.  It is a longer strap that you can tuck under your arm or behind you.

I looked at the Nimrod website and checked out the "Bino-topia" suspender. Quite a few accessories available. I've not used one of these, but pretty interested.

Don't know if they are still in business but Del Norte outdoors used to sell one by the name of the Optic Belt. I like it!  

The Bino Vault by Badlands is a pretty neat outfit if you have a super expensive bino and don't want to expose them to scratches and the elements. It closes with a magnetic track system, no zippers/buttons. Has a hook at the bottom so you can hang your bow by the bow string when using the binos. There is also a pouch on the back for a water bladder, plus other small compartments on the inside for whatever. Oh, also comes with a lense cloth stored on the inside too. Also makes for a neat place to store your binos when not in use.
