The plastic is obviously good, to bring about the camera attachment well. Even on bare skin comfortable to wear the belt in the neck longer. It may be that leather is pleasant here, but this brings other disadvantages. The strap is very flexible, so if time is all in the way you crumples it just somehow past the camera in your pocket without suffer the optics.
Anyway, that's for (Photographers conditions really) little money an improvement over the manufacturer's equipment that was laid each warmly. Were replaced a Nikon camera strap (marked improvement) and with the Fuji X10 supplied strap (what a difference like night and day was).
