I like the Rick Young Outdoors ultra-lite bino harness. Lightweight, easy to pack, can be worn a number of ways too. It adjusts easily and kept my binos out of the way. Only $25 bucks on line
 
A neck strap is just fine, at least for me.
 
#3 on Rick Young.. Love mine..
 
#4 on the ultra light
 
The Rick Young is great as an ultra light option and should be considered.

If you are looking for something with more protection KUIU and FHF Gear offer good solutions.
The wife uses the KUIU for her Vortex 10x42 in a size large.

I use the FHF Gear for my Leica 10x42RF in a size large, but I wish it was a KUIU in a size XL.

I've also heard that people hunting DG like to use just the strap around the neck and under the weak side arm.
Less gear to get in the way but still easy to get to and use.
I have not hunted DG, but have had to crawl during hunts and glad I had good protection for my glass.

The Rick Young has worked extremely well for my 8x30 Nikons, but it either has to be too tight, or it flops around on my Swarovski 10x42s. A simple leather strap works best on the heavy binos for me, but they do get in the way and hang up crawling in the bush.
JMO through my 5’8”, 156lb experiences. A taller heavier guy, a strap might work better.
 
Rick Young. Bought some for my trip this year. Best Bino harness i have used.
 
Rick Young..........very simple and they work.
 
FHF Gear is awesome. I’ve used them for 200 days in the field thus far. Randy Newberg is also a fan even though he could any other maker’s product free, he uses FHF.

. This is the method I used in Africa twice regardless of what animal I was after and it works just find IMO. Hunting deer in Arkansas, I generally don't even carry binos outside the truck with the exception of one area of our lease which is spotting from ridge line to ridge line.
 
I like the harness with the little pack in front..You can protect them if you need to crawl or go through brush..Also keeps dust off glass better..

Yes, just keep it simple
 
Rick Young - they work great on my 10x42s. Easy to pack, light weight, multiple carry options, available on Amazon with prime shipping what's not to like
 
I have a couple of the FHF harnesses. They work really well if you want some protection (i.e. mountain hunting, keeping the dust off them, really thick brush). I do plan on picking up the Rick Young's to try at some point.
 
Y'all are amazing. Thank you for the ideas. I'll let you know what I go with. Good luck with every season and hunt to all.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!
