The Granite binoculars include a binocular harness strap similar to a photographer’s Cuban hitch. It serves a dual purpose. Compared to the conventional strap also included with the binoculars, the harness takes the strain off of your neck and distributes the weight load of the binoculars to your shoulders and torso. It is very comfortable and also safely keeps the binoculars handy when carrying them during extended use.

To use the harness, first find the small straps (about 6 inches long) that came with  your binoculars. Remove the regular strap to get it out of the way. Thread the shorter straps (one on either side) on to the binoculars. Instructions on how to thread binocular straps are here:

Once you've put on the short straps, now you can don the harness. The mesh side will go against your back, while the perforated fabric side will face outwards. Pass your ams and shoulders through the two loops so the harness panel will go on your back. Next, clip the binocular's two short straps to the swivel hooks on the harness.

You are now set to observe with your Granites.
