For The Ups And Downs Of Bird Watching

By Bart Icles

Bird watching is not a sport for the inactive. To have the best day of bird watching you are going to be moving around. You will be looking high and low. Your binoculars will be going up and down all day. By the end of the day you'll be feeling the strain of wearing binoculars hanging from your neck, unless you already own a binocular harness.

A binoculars harness is one of the most adjustable and comfortable ways to wear your binoculars. You can adjust how snugly the binoculars hug your body. The harness system comes over your shoulders and around your body. It looks a little cumbersome until you actually try them. Your binoculars will suddenly feel lighter, and be in the perfect position to grab quickly. At the end of the day your neck will feel great.

As you already know, bird watching is best when using a high quality pair of binoculars. When you have invested in a quality set of binoculars the last thing you want is to risk damage. A neck strap is not much safer than carrying them in your hand. The binoculars swing from side to side. They can easily get caught on a branch as you move through the trees. Having spent a fair amount of money on your high quality Bushnell, Canon, or Nikon binoculars you need to protect your investment. The Nikon Prostaff binocular harness is a great example of proper protection. You will have the binoculars safely cradled near your body. No swinging as you walk. No chance of them slipping off when you bend over to tie your shoe.

When you decide to add a bino harness to your bird watching gear, make sure you look for high quality. You are expecting your binoculars to last for years, you should expect your harness to last for years also. You can see how much confidence a manufacturer has in their harness by looking at their warranty. Check for adjustment capability to make sure it will fit comfortably.

The ups and downs of bird watching no longer need to cause pain in your neck, or risk your binoculars. By adding a binocular harness strap to your binoculars you will be comfortable the entire day. Your binoculars will be held safe from danger. You will be able to enjoy watching the birds instead of constantly worrying about your binoculars. - 32194
