I was looking for a wide padded guitar strap for my heavy-weight (4.0 kg) guitar with notable neck-dive. The Harley Benton Padded strap was affordable and it seemed to have all the required specs I was looking for.
The strap is indeed wide, well-padded and it has high friction (it stays in place).
There are only two downsides to this product:
1. The padding soaks up moisture very effectively. After a long sweaty gig, the padding is like a wet sponge full of sweat. So, care must be taken in allowing the strap to dry properly after a sweaty playing session (do not put it directly into a closed guitar case!).
2. The strap is very long and its length adjustment range does not cover the shortest options. So, if you wish to play with guitar hanging high (like Tom Morello or 1960s Beatles), you may need to add extra holes in the tail of the strap.
All in all, the strap is of high quality, it looks good (black suits heavy metal style very well), and it does its job at an affordable price point. I can warmly recommend this product to all guitarists and bassists.
