Some years back, that is. To clip to a trouser belt was a little awkward wearing a coat, so I put them under my coat but the bin straps emerging from under my coat collar were not very pleasant when I zipped up my collar high under the chin. I've seen the Bino Manager advertised somewhere on another thread; it looks good.Can't order it from the States. I might as well make one myself, a few straps and clips are all that's needed. I have no interest in the pouch.After trying my latest waist pack/ bin strap system, I'm now back on the backpack/hook system, for two reasons:the waist pack kept creeping up, so the bins gradually went down from my chest to a place where I wouldn't want anything heavy dangling around.there was no place for my walkstool, and I wouldn't want to be out without that.I tried another coathanger trick today, a rather flexible plastic one this time, it was OK initially, with the weight of the bins nicely spread on the shoulders, but.... it didn't stay in place as it should have. I almost strangled myself with it; still I'll keep looking for something simple that will do the trick, without the need for a backpack. Regards,Ronald</blockquote>
