Floating Binocular Strap

[FecklessDolphin]

I am a new owner of Steiner Observer binoculars. I also have kids. I am wondering flotation I could attach to the strap, or if there is a buoyant strap, that would prevent these from going to the bottom.

keep em out of kids' reach and get some not so great ones for them to use.

Steiner makes one.

Or for $5, you could try one of these floating camera straps.

Thanks. After reading reviews of the cheaper product, I went with the Steiner strap. And Zeehag, with all due respect, trying to keep the kids away from the binocs would be like trying to keep water out of the bilge.

I tested it and the Steiner 768 strap dose float the Observer 7 x 50 binoculars

was this a bathtub test? or was it an inadvertent float test?

i tied a line to the strap and lowered them into the water off the side of the boat. they floated (in freshwater) with the top loop of the strap sticking out of the water.
