I've used the Orion Deluxe Binocular Strap

Orion Strap

Which at $8.95 is a bargain. Anything is better than the thin plastic or leather garrotes* than for some inexplicable reason are usually enclosed with binoculars.

I bought a used binocular that came with a guitar strap. That was nice.

I've never used or heard of the Op/Tech straps. They look intersting. A couple of questions:

1. How does the quick release work? Some straps for cameras and binoculars have fussy ways of attaching, with parts that do or don't get in the way. I've seen a camera strap or clip that can swivel 360 degrees, so it doesn't hang up. (Although your strap can get twisted).

2. The Op/Tech Fashion strap comes in different colors? Any recommendation for a color for the best astronomical view?*
