Well, I had a chance to try it out. If you shorten the bungee core to where the CL 8x25 Compact rests below your collarbone, the cord is too stiff or doesn't have enough stretch to it. As you lift binocular to eyes, you really have to tug to get the cord to stretch. The cord is made this way so it doesn't allow a regular sized binocular to have any up and down movement while hanging around your neck.
The RY cord will stretch easier if the cord has enough length. As you shorten the cord, there is less stretch.
So, I am looking for a cord or some other material that is just a bit more stretchable. A more stretchable cord is not good for big bins but is good for compact bins like the 8x25 Compact. I will google different materials.
Thanks again everyone for suggesting the RY as I didn't even know such a harness existed. Just for the heck of it and being a curious person by nature, I may hook the RY to my Vortex 8x42. However, I'm not really into full-sized bins nowadays.
