Bino carry options

I have been using a set of Zeiss Victory LRF Binos for about a year, and I love the convenience of having a rangefinder and binocular in the same package, but I have not found a carry option I like.

I have tried just using a simple strap around the neck, but the weight creates neck strain, and debris always ends up on the lenses. Lately I have been storing them in a Eberlestock multipouch mounted on the back of my molle 'warbelt'. This is very comfortable, but access to the pouch requires that I remove the belt, which is fine when in a static position, but on the move takes too much time.

I was looking at the Badlands Binovault, but it seems to have a few bad reviews. It left me wondering how the military carries the Vector, or if any members could make a recommendation for a carry system that is comfortable, unobtrusive, provides protection from debris, and allows quick access.

Sorry for the randomness and lack of cohesive thought in this post.
 
Re: Bino carry options

I've got a harness type strap that holds my Geovids close to my chest. They are made of a stretchy material that allows you to use them, then they return to the position close to the chest. Sort of like a shoulder holster for a pistol, not sure exactly what its called?

Much more comfy than the neck strap if you're going to use them for an extended period. Kind of a PITA if you want to take them off and put them back on frequently.

If this sounds like what you're looking for I'll get more info on them.
