SteinerFloating Strap for Marine Binoculars - Long-Lasting Waterproof Floating Binocular Accessory

The shipper, along with Amazon. Is simply AMAZING..Exactly what I wanted .. And delivered a few hours later ...The driver was excellent.. Outstanding service..

the I-Pilot touch screen remote is waterproof but it doesn't float. considering it's being used on a boat, at $425 I wanted more protection - What good is it if it's waterproof but falls overboard and sinks to the bottom of a lake. This floating strap has no problem keeping the I-Pilot touch screen remote afloat. And it's comfortable when worn around the neck. It's a bit pricey but a lot less expensive than replacing a $425 remote.One small criticism. The strap comes folded flat in thirds which results in it being formed into a U when you first begin using it. I worked out some of the stiffness by hand by bending the strap to make it more pliable. Ultimately it breaks-in and takes on the shape of your neck. But at $35 I think the manufacturer could afford to package it so it conforms to the shape of one's neck without having to break it in by hand and wearing.

Bought these for my old W German 7x50 Steiner Military Marine Binocs with compass. They're pretty bulky and heavy. Attached just like the original strap. Tossed the whole business in my swimming pool and they floated just as they should. The strap gives me confidence that my Binocs aren't headed for Davey Jones' locker if they go overboard on the boat. A little pricey but I forgot about that once I saw them floating in the pool. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Hope they float

Work great. Will work on standard marine without the Clic-Loc.

Why couldn’t there be a cloth strip at the nape of the neck? It’s soooo uncomfortable we can’t use it.

I tested these and they do float my Steiner Observer 7 x 50 binoculars. And it does not need the clip-loc fittings as mentioned in another review. That is the case for the model 769. The 768 model (which this one is) has a simple nylon strap that loops around a post on the binoculars and clips back on itself.

Substantial quality product, very solid construction, does what it says. Only complaint is has not got a quick click on off fastener to binoculars, have to thread strap everytime. Would buy again.

In the item description it states: DURABLE BINOCULAR ATTACHMENT – Count on Steiner’s own Clic-Loc system for quick, easy removal and reattachment. The item delivered does NOT have the Clic-Loc system. If I had known this was not included I would NOT have purchased it.I can remove the Clic-Loc part from the strap that came with the binoculars, and attach it to the floating strap - but I should not have to cannibalize my strap to get this to fit.
