maximus otter Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 I've just received my new Kuiu binocular harness, ordered from the USA based on its reviews. I want to use it with my new (2019) Swarovski EL Range 8 x 42 bins. On opening the package, I've fallen at the first hurdle: The securing of the Kuiu harness to the bins depends on the bins having a permanent loop attached to each barrel. The straps of the Kuiu thread through said loops. Unfortunately, the new Swarovskis have only a flush-mounted pin arrangement for attaching their own strap: I can't even detach the paracord from the Swarovskis' own neck strap to connect to the Kuiu, as it's held inside a sealed buckle-type arrangement. Am I missing something, or do I have to fork out £15 to send the Kuiu back to the States? maximus otter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubby10 Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 There are adapters that cost a fiver a pop, bushwear sell them. I find this proprietary nonsense really frustrating as I’d quite like to be able to use any harness I want after forking out considerable sums for the binos. They could at least be included. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F323986277794 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximus otter Posted March 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 The answer is simply to email Swarovski, and the lovely Cornelia will send you a pair of strap loop connectors free of charge, direct to your home (as I've now found out). maximus otter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
