⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"When I first heard about Cotton Carrier I was very interested in their harness. The thought of carrying my camera around without the neck strain was a big deal for me. The comfort and ease of this harness was amazing. When Im out doing wildlife tours the harness comes in really handy for my binoculars. Looking for wildlife in the intertidal zones from a distance having my binoculars close by ready at all times with the harness is beneficial for what I do "
