This unbranded strap arrived really well packaged, very likely the nicest presentation packaging I've ever gotten from a guitar strap (which usually ship with a tag and no box). The amount of care that seems to have gone into this strap is at odds with the product page and its lack of information. The strap itself is made of nylon with a nice metal adjustment buckle and stitched leather strap ends with a stitched piece of fabric holding plastic guitar strap button holders. The package comes with a nice instructional card, which is all in Chinese but the pictures are clear and who needs instructions for a guitar strap anyway.I personally really like the design on the strap, which is a very simple embroidered mid-century modern bunch of arranged shapes that look classy. This strap has a good length - end to end it can go from 38 inches up to 64 inches, rivaling the longest straps I've owned. The strap ends that hold the guitar strap pins are very easy to use, are rubberized on the backside to minimize scratching your guitar finish, and work really well - press down on one end and it lifts up enough to slip over your guitar strap buttons. They are, hands down, the easiest locking system I've ever used which makes it the easiest to remove the strap before putting it in a case.My only concern with this strap are those plastic ends, which are fairly thin (maybe two or three bread clips worth). I can't fairly speak to long term durability but my years of dealing with plastics in general give me the "these may crack" down the road vibe. To be fair, many of my straps have plastic rings that hold the strap and leather ends together, but they are thicker plastic with strap weight spread out across the part. Hopefully this won't be cause for concern down the road - the strap itself is very comfortable and everything looks well made.

This could easily have been a five-star strap. The strap itself appears to be made of a decent quality nylon, almost like a car seatbelt. But every chain is only as good as its weakest link, which in this case is the clips. They are made of a thin plastic. I don’t know many guitarist who would feel comfortable entrusting their expensive guitars to those clips.Some folks may say, “just try it and see if it breaks”, but that would be like looking at a tiny branch hanging over a 1000 foot cliff and saying, “I’ll just give it a go and hope that it holds.”The product not only has to look good, it also has to instill confidence, right out of the box, that it can handle the load. If you are using this for a lightweight UKE or mandolin, it’s probably ok, but personally, I’m not willing to hang my electric bass off those clips.

When I ordered this, I think my big question was "why would I ever need to quickly remove my strap from my guitar"? I mean, maybe I'm just crusty, but I basically never take them off. If anything, a guitar strap coming off to quickly is a *problem*! Ever been jamming and have gravity test your reflexes because your strap gave out? We've all been there.The issue with your basic guitar + strap setup is that the leather (or vinyl or nylon) of the buttonhole gets worn out over time, and because the strap buttons are polished smooth, there's an increasing likelihood that the button will just pop right out of the worn out buttonhole.There are plenty of solutions on the market for this, of course. The tried-and-true strap lock is a good one, if a bit pricey (and usually requires you to drill new holes / bore out existing holes, which can be nerve-wracking for newbies). Similarly, Dunlop and other companies make rubber collars that help secure the strap in place. These come with their own issues in that the fit winds up being *so snug* that your basic movements, especially putting the guitar away and taking it out, can put pressure on the screws connecting the button to the wood, which can ultimately strip the connection.So for all that, what do I have to say about this "quick release" strap system?The connector itself is hard plastic with a spring-loaded latch. Your strap button slides into the plastic bit, and then the latch comes down over that, securing it in place. Because it's hard plastic, it won't wear out like leather or vinyl (etc) and because it's molded to fit over an existing button, it doesn't require you to install a new one.The strap itself is thick nylon - basically seatbelt material. I was suitably impressed because I was expecting something much thinner and lighter, but this is sturdy and strong.I only have two misgivings, and they're pretty minor I think - the spring on the latch / clasp for the unit doesn't seem terribly durable, and if that gives out, well, the whole thing would be pretty pointless. I also wish this came in more attractive designs and colors (though I have seen mint green and white version savailable, which I don't have). I could be wrong about the spring and latch though - I'll see how it holds up over time.FINAL VERDICT: Tough, rugged, durable, convenient - oh yeah, and while I note that the big attraction for me here is that it stays on really well, it actually can be removed very quickly and easily. It might not have showstopper looks, but hey, I dunno man - put some pins or buttons or patches on it I guess. This thing is a workhorse.

Great strap! I was hesitant because of so many reviews saying cheap plastic but decided to give it a try anyways because I liked this particular white. I'm happy I did! It's easy to use and the material wrapped around the plastic end is actually pretty good! The plastic part is easily compared to my D'Addario strap lock, as it also has some plastic attached to it.
