OK I've got these Swarovski 8x50B binoculars that are 8 inches long and weigh in at 1150 grams. That's almost 41 oz. Ouch! I inherited them so I couldn't choose anything smaller or lighter. They are really beautiful to look through but I've actually never had them off my upper deck and usually on a monopod. I think I'd like to try and carry them once in awhile but I kind of take longish semi strenuous hikes that go up and down on narrow mountain trails.
I have regular bino harnesses and I'll try them out but I think something a little better/stronger design might be in order and maybe something that protects them a little. Have any of you got real experience with a bino harness that would be appropriate for such a large and heavy binocular?
