I chose this strap for comfort it brings and I'm not disappointed in this regard. It allows better weight distribution and the device (in my case a 7D) appears much lighter in duration (I tested a full weekend) Will see when hot and that I will be T-shirt if it will be as comfortable. For me the downside is just aesthetics, at the finish. The edges of the neoprene strap that comes around the neck are rough, just cut without finishing.
