I'd like to not lose the lens caps that go on my binocs. I see some
people poke a hole through the caps, and use a thread to tie the caps to
the binocs. That's OK, but one ends up with something that resembles a
wind chime. Anyone got a better solution?

I super-glued mine on. Luckily, before I did, my wife suggested that I
drill holes in them first. That was a close call.

Make sure you take those glass things out of the front too, before
you get finger prints or scratches on them.

Well for crying out loud, take them off before using a needle and
thread!

Ouch! :-)

Ah, getting closer. Kinda pricey. I'll have to contact them. Maybe they
come in pairs (front/rear).

Ditto, using excess nylon webbing from a strap so long that the
binocular could also serve as a groin protector. Insufficiently strong
bond, so I now have CA residue on binocs and caps.

Best,
