The Vero Vellini strap is my favorite also. It is well made, simple and light.

I ordered one so we'll see! LOL

What don't you like about neoprine straps ? I myself find them to be comfortable…

The main thing I don’t like about a neoprene strap is the grippiness of it, making it difficult to slide my binoculars around without fighting it. Very comfortable and probably perfect for many others though.
My favorite straps are smooth nylon, ideally seatbelt material. Very slippery, making it the ideal material for me.

Vero Vellini also makes one in leather. If you don't like any stretch.

And it’s crafted in Germany, but MiC🤭.

Since I don’t use them I hadn’t even thought of that! Another reason to go with just about anything else.

Only $80.00?

Only $80.00?

If the quality justifies it that seems pretty reasonable. My favorite acoustic guitar strap is leather at $170. By contrast, my favorite electric strap is made of seatbelt material and just $30.
If you like leather that might be a great choice for you.

What can I say, I'm a glutton for punishment! I ordered a pair of 8X42 M5 re-furbs from the Nikon store for my daughter. I think she'll like them for birding and looking at the Pleides, her favorite!

I totally agree, those canvas straps are excellent, I actually have that exact strap with me on my Audubons today. The neoprene ones just hold too much sweat.

It bothers me that the Zeiss and Nikon straps they sell with their expensive binoculars are not available to purchase as standalone items. I think the Nikon EDG one is my favorite, but you have to buy the whole enchilada to get one.

I’ve bought a handful of Canon straps like that off eBay and you’ll find a large selection of them there for pretty cheap.

Thanks, I'll check that out.

I don't like neoprine straps, any suggestions?

for a light binocular like the MHG, I've found a standard webbing strap (as often used on cameras) will work just fine. I rather like the look of the retro yellow Nikon strap I've got on my 10x42 SE - I prefer it to the thinner original strap with the faux leather backing.

Better yet, DSLR strap (non specific) from the Nikon store! Compatable with Nikon D810 @ 31oz for 26.00

I wanted the yellow strap because I've always associated Nikon's logo with the word "Nikon" in black, on a yellow background. I guess I'm a bit old school. Plus, you can pick secondhand examples up real cheap, and I'm definitely cheap. 😸

Nothing wrong with that, but I figured a new bin deserved a new strap! (And the mostly black goes well with the HG)
