None of the bins had straps attached and I found myself putting the little BNs in my coat pocket, top loaded with snap down flap, to carry them in and out. They fit fine and seemed secure. Then I went hunting with my friend's son who has my old Leitz 7x35s. The strap dissapeared on these long ago, so he carries them in his coat pocket.It just seems handy to me. My alternative is to sew a larger breast pocket on my outdoor coat,  just big enough for the BNs, and carry them that way with the neck strap as a safety strap in case they fall out of my pocket. I remember I used to carry the slim 7x35s that way. I hate those harness things, a light weight, slim strap is much better, no strap is best of all.</blockquote>
