Polyester, Patterned Polyester and Flat nylon webbing are the most popular choices for this strap because they have a "smooth feel" touch.  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, lightweight polypropylene webbing 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. 
PLEASE NOTE: We recommend polyester or nylon webbing for "skin contact" straps. Our polyester/nylon has a tight weave and a very smooth feel. So, for camera straps, where the strap is across the back of your neck, polyester/nylon would be more comfortable.

 

Other uses for this strap; binoculars, snare drums, purse, and anything else your creative mind comes up with. You can also add a shoulder pad, and now you have even more comfort for items you wear over your shoulder.

Depending on the weight of the bag or camera, plastic swivel snaps are the most common end hardware.  However, if you need stronger hardware, metal swivel snaps are recommended. If using these straps for a heavy item, please keep in mind that we recommend only holding 1/3 of the breaking strength of the webbing. For example, 2 inch Polyester webbing has a breaking strength of 6566 pounds, so it has a working load of 2188 pounds. However, keep in mind a strap is only as strong as it's weakest link. So, you need to consider end hardware (snap hooks, bolt snaps, carabiners, etc...), and stitching. Other polyester facts, polyester has a thickness of 0.06 to 0.065 of an inch, melting point of 500 degrees fahrenheit.
