Use a Chest Pack for your Binoculars to Eliminate Neck Strain
First Problem: Sore NeckFor years I succumbed to neck strain because of a lack of a chest pack, but no more. I actually switched to a chest harness a couple of years ago after seeing many television hunters wearing them. After I did a little research I made the switch, and man, what a difference that made. Second Problem: Dirty LensesThe problem with just using a chest harness is you must still deal with keeping your eyepieces clean and dry. This means fumbling with lens caps or keeping your binoculars inside your jacket. This is the method I used for many years. It works but it is not convenient. When it is cold and you want your jacket closed to stay warm, you cannot access your binoculars in a hurry. This becomes a twofold problem, one is the potential loss of your caps along with once you remove them you have to find somewhere to put them. The other part of the problem is fogging and or dirty lenses. If you keep your binoculars inside your jacket where they will stay clean, they will also be warm. 
Pull warm binoculars out into a cold and damp atmosphere and the lens will instantly fog up. Keep your binoculars outside your jacket without lens covers and they will get dust, twigs, rain and snow on them. You are then forced to clean your lenses before you can use them. Having binoculars outside your jacket with lens covers is a problem too! Once removed what do you do with them? Too much movement, and precious moments lost may result in not seeing or harvesting the game you wanted to observe in the first place. It is just a losing proposition. Now put on a binocular chest pack and see the difference. You binoculars are right at your fingertips; kept dry and clean ready for use at a moment’s notice. You get the benefit of having a shoulder harness to take the weight of your binoculars off your next and the added benefit of having them protected from the elements for your immediate use. Binoculars can be very expensive, you need to protect them and a chest-pack will do the job nicely.
