I bought the new Neotech Wick-it strap because I couldn't stand how springy my old neoprene strap was and how often I had to keep adjusting it as it kept sliding. Not great when you're changing between alto and tenor sax. The new Wick-it strap looks like it might not as comfortable as the old neoprene version at first glance but I am happy to say that it is very comfortable and holds it's position without constant re-adjusting. Money well spent.
