Unlike many neoprene straps that are too springy, this one has about the right amount of resilience. It's comfortable around your neck and has some "give," but it's not so springy that your DSLR bounces about. The only thing I don't like about this strap is the white "OP/TECH USA" lettering on it. I prefer total stealth but this is far better than the bright yellow lettering on my OEM Nikon strap and more comfortable.

I am a big fan of the Op/Tech straps and this is no exception. The fast detach feature of the strap makes it easy to share a strap among different cameras.

I agree with other reviewers that the cushy part of the strap is too short. I have another (older) Op/Tech strap that is identical to this one except the cushy part is longer. I like the longer one better. That said, I used this new strap for the first time this weekend to photograph a wedding (actually, I had both straps around my neck all day supporting two cameras) and there was no difference in the feel or functionality of the straps, so I've decided that strap length is just a visual preference for me. That's why I'm giving it four stars, though it probably deserves five.

Very comfortable, with a neck pad that's wide, but not too wide. The finished edges of the neck pad are much more comfortable than the sharp/rubbery edges of the average neoprene pad.

I really like the way you can remove the neck pad and snap the ends together to make a handstrap. I use that feature often - when I put the camera on a tripod, or when I'm using a long lens that has its own strap.

The price is excellent - less than half what some straps cost. And it doesn't look cheap at all - quite the opposite.

I looked at many different straps and reviews before chosing this OP/TECH model for our Canon camera and I couldn't be happier. It is very well made, extremely comfortable, and the price with short shipping time from Willoughbys through Amazon couldn't be matched anywhere.

Most comfortable strap I have worn. I use it on all my hikes in the Grand Canyon. We film trails in the Grand Canyon, [...], and some of these hikes we hike over 40 miles.

These are great straps for cameras or binoculars--it's like the camera weighs a pound less with this strap! Very comfortable, well made.
I especially like this model, that is nicely bound on the edges (not all straps have that detail.)

Great strap, use it to carry my 18X50 Canon binoculars which are quite heavy. The padded strap makes it comfortable to carry the binoculars, totally takes away the feel of the heavy weight. Quality is very nice & heavy duty clips makes it a breeze to disassemble the strap.

This strap is longer (easier to sling under-arm) and much more comfortable than the strap that came with my Canon 60d. Also, it doesn't have product branding on the outside that reveals to thieves that I've got a grand of camera gear hanging from my neck. That being said it does feel slightly less secure than the canon strap did, but I haven't had any actual problems with that aspect yet.

The strap seems to magically reduce the weight of the camera(s) around my neck. Well, it's really the superb padding but it just seems like magic. Most of the time, I carry two Canon 5D mkIIs and various heavy lenses on two Op/Tech Classic straps without fatigue. I also like the fact that the strap does not have Op/Tech's name printed on it much less super large & bold like Canon's straps.
