It feels comfortable, sturdy, well made, with quality leather. It looks reliable and built to last. As for comfort, you need to give it a week or two for it to loosen a bit. In the beginning its a bit stiff but as the leather ages it gets better and better. Its a great relief for my shoulders as I often have back pain - one of the main reasons why i got it. It also doesnt slip at all, I imagine that if your guitar has neck dive this would help. Overall a great strap and one I definetly can recommend without hesitation - its great for the price.
