I've been using a Crooked Horn Bino system for 6 or 7 years. I love it. I don't even know the binocs are there most of the time. I wear it under my pack, but fasten the sternum strap under the top bino straps so I have full use of them when wearing the pack.

I have a very good day pack with built bino straps but they're a PIA. You have to unclip the binocs every time you take the pack off. I just wear the Crooked Horn and forget the straps on the pack.

This photo from Crooked Horn shows the guy holding the binocs with the straps stretched out. Put the sternum strap through the V against your chest. And don't waste the extra $5 getting the camo version.
