Thank you for your purchase of the Orion®Binocular Harness Strap! You’ll nd that
when using this harness instead of a standard binocular neck strap, there will be
far less strain on your neck because the weight is evenly distributed across your
shoulders.
Binocular attachment
Any standard binocular should accept the 10mm wide attachment straps included
with this harness. Simply slip the ends of the straps through the attachment points
on your binocular, loop them back and through the bracket so they are rmly
attached. See Figure 2 for an example of a correctly attached binocular strap.
Wearing the harness
Slip the harness over your shoulders, wearing it like a backpack (Figure 3). There
are two methods for slipping the harness on. The easiest way is to disconnect
the binoculars from the main harness by disconnecting the ends of the binocular
strap from each quick disconnect clip (Figure 1), slipping the harness around your
shoulders, and then reconnecting the binoculars to the clips. The other method is
to leave the binoculars attached to the harness, raise the back of the harness over
your head, slipping both arms through the shoulder loops. This way, you can leave
the binoculars attached to the harness without having to remove and reconnect.

Adjustments
You’ll want to adjust the shoulder straps in such a way that the binocular sits com-
fortably against the front of your stomach or just above your stomach (Figure 4),
and can be raised up to your eyes for use, with a small amount of tension coming
from the shoulder straps. The harness is designed to keep the binoculars from
swinging wildly around while you hike, is also designed to provide slight tension
while gazing through the binoculars to help steady the view. There are four adjust-
ment clips on the shoulder straps, two above the shoulder, and two below (Figure
1). Slide these evenly and equally in or out until the binoculars t comfortably
against your torso, and can still be raised to your eyes.
You’ll notice the binocular straps sliding up along the shoulder strap when you
bring the binoculars up to your eyes. The binocular strap should slide high enough
on the shoulder straps to bring the binoculars comfortably to your eyes while hav-
ing a small amount of tension.
Care and Cleaning
The harness is made out of a breathable mesh so hiking in hot or damp condi-
tions shouldn’t provide any discomfort. After prolonged use, it may be necessary
to clean the harness. It’s best to use a damp cloth instead of machine washing,
because the straps can get tangled in the washing machine agitator. Use warm
water with a very small amount of mild laundry detergent dissolved into the water
and spot clean the harness with a cloth. Let the harness air dry and do not put the
harness in the dryer.
