Very good value for money, when compared with other straps.
I use this strap with my bass guitar, gigging every weekend with my band.
Pros:
1. Price, most affordable strap, cheaper than most products available in local stores.
2. Durability, has survived many gigs. The material is robust and I have great faith in it over the fabric usually used for cheap guitar straps.
3. Break-ability, this strap does not contain any plastic parts, usually the first item to break on a standard strap. For me this is it's biggest selling point. The tie wrap used to secure the neck is very durable and I have great faith this strap will last me through many more gigs, it is truly one of the great Thomann buys available. I would suggest picking up a spare one to have during gigs but only i you havent got a Thomann one already.
Cons
1. The only negative thing I can say about this strap is the comfort. Its very hard to wear the strap bare-chested as the side of the strap cuts into your chest. This is a consequence of the durable material, and is an acceptable trade-off, it is possible to cover the strap with an aftermarket cushion to protect it from chafing yourself.
All in all, I would buy this product again over any other strap.

Sturdy and functional
I had bought a much more expensive Canadian product as a gift for a friend but due to a glitch in the ordering process it was sent to my home rather than his and I 'broke it in' for him for a few weeks; after this it was hard to go back to my synthetic straps and I bought this product just to see the quality discrepancy that less than half the price of the Canadian product would yield.
The HB strap is not as thick or as wide and does require silicone washers to keep it secure on the buttons; but other than that, it's a marked improvement on the synthetic alternatives which sell at the same price.

It maybe short for you
I am 190cm dude and i wanted to use my explorer like hetfield which is loose. But it turned out a little short for me. I went to my local leather shop and made it longer just for 100TL. If you are not tall as me, i definetely recommend :D

Very nice
A good leather strap at a fair price, Harley Benton once again shows that you don't need to pay an exorbitant price to get a quality product. I put it on my Harley Benton SC-Custom II and find that it's quite comfortable and looks great.

Can't go wrong!
I bought one of these straps in 2006 and still use it today on my little Martin LX1e, so that's a definite tick in the build quality box!
Nice soft leather (well it is now, was probably a little stiff when new, but it wore in nicely). Well made with no defects, easy to adjust length to suit your playing style.
As always, strongly recommend also buying some strap locks to prevent any accidents.
The strap is very comfortable to wear for a light guitar like mine, but it's not padded, so if you have a heavy guitar or play standing for extended periods you might want to spend the extra and invest on something with more padding.
Otherwise for this price you can't really go wrong, recommended.

For this price..
This is comfortable enough, after some wearing in, and strong and durable as any leather Strap.
The only disadvantage is that it is, as stated by others, quite short, for low carrying or "boxy" guitars it is to short. I use it on a strat in a normal to low position (I am 1.80) and it is just ok in the longest postition...

Good strap for its price
Good strap, color just like the picture. The edges are a bit sharp, but you can close your eyes to that. Good quality leather.

Decent strap
I've used this strap 5 years now, it's been through some rehearsals and gigs and it doesn't show any major signs of wear.
I'm sure it will last plenty more years of continuous use.
It's simple and elegant looking, fits nicely, my only complaint now would be that it's made out of dead animals, but that's not the point here.

Overall, not bad
This strap works as intended but is by no means the best. It does what it needs but doesn't feel very good.
