I purchased this based upon OP/TECH USA's camera straps made using the same nylon and neoprene construction.  Their camera straps are great, especially the medium format camera models (lug a Mamiya RB-67 around and you appreciate the strap quickly).  Since my work shoulder bag, aka man purse, strap was breaking hardware on a regular basis (whichever bean counter decided on plastic strap hardware on an expensive bag should be beaten), I was pleasantly surprised to see this strap available at Amazon.  Works great, with the the neoprene portion giving a nice suspension to an overloaded bag, and the neoprene does not slip on your shoulder.  The hardware is sturdy metal, and is USA made, an added bonus.  Definitely recommended. Try their camera straps, too.
