This patterned polyester strap is used to clip onto a bag or camera to either drape around your neck or hang off your shoulder. Flat nylon, polyester and, patterned polyester webbing is a popular choice for this strap because it has a "smooth feel" touch to it. When worn around the neck it will not cause any kind of discomfort as far as "digging" into your neck or a rough scratchy feeling. Heavyweight or lightweight polypropylene is also common because it is great for the outdoors. It has excellent UV protection, and doesn't absorb water quickly giving it a high resistance to rot & mildew. Stapworks' Bag Straps are available in 4 adjustment lengths:
