It could be an actual pouch that attaches to your belt, or a singular band of some sort that hangs on your neck, or even a harness that is designed to carry your optics for you. There are thousands of binocular strap options for you to choose from. ItтЂ™s your job to choose the best one. The problem with using the attachable pouch as your binocular strap is that it is not very convenient at all. While carrying your optics on your hip is a more comfortable option than on your neck (because nothing is comfortable on your neck), it is not that easy to get the optics in and out quickly. After all, the point of having your optics is to be able to see what youтЂ™re out to see. If you have to unhook, unzip, unbutton or unsnap latches to pull your optics out that is several seconds wasted. When it comes to narrowing down your binocular strap options, the pouch should be out.
