Message: <blockquote data-quote="KorHaan" data-source="post: 1649080" data-attributes="member: 49910">I sang high praise of a CC cup manzier I bought for my heavy Canons; the back patch though became a sweat patch on warmer days, even without an additional rucksack. So I abandoned them. I abondoned the backpack + hook-on-bin strap, too. Why? Well, I recently said it's probably the best method, but the necessary backpack isn't always a joy to wear ( cycling for hours on end with a backpack will get you a sweaty back ). Plus I want to take the pack off when I'm longer in one place.So I came up with a new method: two long straps on the bins, loose ends connected by the same S-shaped hook, small waist pack around the hips and S-hook attached to the belt strap on the lower back. That leaves the back uncovered and also leaves room for an additional backpack that you can take off without the hassle of disconnecting the bins first. And more importantly, no straps under the arms like you have with a bino harness. :t:I haven't been out yet to try its usefulness in practice, but it certainly has potential and was quite comfortable for the short while I tried it at home.I know I keep saying this with every new method I try and suggest here, but 1,2 kilogram bins that are addictive to use are feeding my quest for the ultimate bin carrying method.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Kind regards,Ronald</blockquote>
