Looks good but I would just as soon not have a piece of optics on a breakaway cord
Better to have it break away then choke to death! I know a guy that fell down a hill and died that way.

Here's the deal with it though. It's a tough breakaway. I tested it by putting it on, raising the binocs as high as I could get them without taking them off. Then sort of threw them downwards (little more force than just letting them go). They held fine. But when tugging hard on them, the snap opens. The snaps that I found at Marshalls are tough. If you put them together with nothing to give you leverage on them, they're a bitc* to get open. But when needed, the right amount of force will pull them off.
Good point wouldn't want that. I barely move with binoculars around my neck always put them in a pouch and when i have a camera I carry it like a shoulder bag.Better to have it break away then choke to death! I know a guy that fell down a hill and died that way.
SInce you tested them probably not a problem but still a little bit of a concern to me.Here's the deal with it though. It's a tough breakaway.

Binos or you life, life wins every time for me. I can always replace binos, might even give me an excuse for a new pair lol.

That's why I don't like to walk around with binoculars or a camera around my neck.Better to have it break away then choke to death! I know a guy that fell down a hill and died that way.

One of my pet peeves. the breakaway should be on one of the sides of the loop and NOT behind the neck. The friction of one's skin and the angles of the curvature of the neck will keep the breakaway from working correctly.
I never thought of it that way. Now that I think about it I've seen those ID lanyards with the breakaway on the side as well as the back.One of my pet peeves. the breakaway should be on one of the sides of the loop and NOT behind the neck.

I think it looks better in the back seeing as it hides the breakaway.
Looks better but if it doesn't work when you need it, it defeats the purpose.
Regardless of all that, nice job, Mon!
Thanks Gumpy.
