#Binocular strap series#
Swarovski Optik and in particular their EL series has always had a great carry strap, but the latest versions known as the Comfort Carrying Strap (CCS) or the Lift Carrying Strap (LCS) has taken what was already a great design even further. Of all the binoculars that I have used and tested over the years, the best neck straps that come included with the instrument are usually on high end products, but not always, there are also a few mid range bins that also come bundled with excellent straps, but ones that you can also purchase separately:
Adjustability - straps should be easily customizable to fit better - improves comfort.Strength and Durability - aspects like quality of materials and stitching are important here.Design - Shape (Ergonomics) and features like non slip surfaces.So whilst any reasonably strong length of cord can fulfil this basic task, it perhaps lacks in a number of key areas that can take it from the most basic level into something that makes it almost a pleasure to use.

The basic aim of any neck or shoulder strap is to enable you to hang whatever is on the end of it around your neck or over your shoulders, which makes it easier to carry it about, or free up your hands to do other things. I will the also highlight those that can be purchased as stand alone accessories, how much they cost and where to buy them: What Makes a Good Neck Strap In this guide, I will go over what makes a great shoulder & neck strap and list some of the best neck straps that I have come across testing and writing my binocular reviews.
The good news is that you can "pimp your binoculars" by getting a better neck strap and in many cases this does not have to cost the earth. To date, every single binocular that I have ever tested or reviewed has come with some sort of a shoulder / neckstrap, but the sad fact is that apart from a few, almost all are suppled with what I describe as being really basic and then there are those that are just simply terrible. So whilst you will most certainly appreciate the design, quality and comfort of a great neck strap, good ones may well go unnoticed (which in itself is a good thing) and even though it is true that most badly made straps will perform their required task of holding a pair of binoculars around your neck, they most certainly won't add anything to the experience of using and enjoying your optics. One of the most underappreciated accessories on a binocular and one that often goes overlooked when choosing a pair of optics is the humble shoulder/neck strap.
