A guitar strap that really made me happy
I bought this belt as the first leather belt, before that I had nylon belts. I was first attracted to the price and design. The Harley Benton logo is emblazoned on the belt itself. It feels like a very good belt, since I have one shoulder a little shorter than the other (a physiological feature), the nylon belt is very poorly fit and constantly rolled down and pressed on the defective shoulder. But this belt is held on the shoulder perfectly, due to the larger area of coverage. Also, my nylon belt in some places began to RUB and there are threads sticking out, the weave wears out. In this belt, this can not be in principle. But the most important thing is that the belt design is excellent and for this price I have not seen better.

Just what I was looking for
This strap is exactly what you expect that it would be. Simple, sturdy and affordable. Especially for the price, it does what I expected it to do: hold a bass up.
In terms of comfort, it is good enough if you take a break or only play for a bit, but has very little padding so long sessions may be a bit uncomfortable. The material is strong and tough so it will hold up the bass and provide good support, but also might cut into one's shoulder. The belt is of a medium width, not too narrow but also not that wide. There are lots of positions and holes available so it is adjustable to fit most sizes of guitars and people.
It does not look like the strap will slip off of the strap buttons on its own, but I've only had it for a few weeks, so I am not sure how it will hold up over time. If you were really active and dancing around or rocking out on stage a lot, I would probably suggest something with a bit more features.
I would recommend this item to anyone looking for something simple and affordable and using it for short sessions..

It's okay...
It is very simple, just two strips of leather without any padding or any special decorations (except for the discrete Harley Benton logo). The strap is not the thinnest which is good and the material seems to be actual leather, which is very nice for the price. However, with heavier guitars it isn't very comfortable when you play for longer periods of time, I personally start to feel my shoulder after about 10 minutes of playing (my PRS style guitar is really heavy though).
For the money, it serves it's purpose and looks actually pretty nice.
It is a solid option for your backup guitar or if you have a really tight budget. However, I'd recommend buying the slightly more expensive but much more comfortable padded alternatives from HB, if you are willing and able to throw in some extra cash.

does the job.
It's fine, it's a little stiff but it will probably age nicely and its hard to beat the price. It's as comfortable as a non padded strap can be.

Much better than expected
I've had a few nylon ones from Ernie ball at this price point, and really, this is the way to go.
I've got a heavier les paul which I use with this and I could immediately feel like the guitar was lighter. Much more comfortable and overall less of a strain to use for longer periods of time.
Once again, for the price, really not faultable. I havent used it on tour or something along those lines, so I can't attest for the durability in those scenarios.
For home usage, seems as good as it gets.

Excellent value!
At first the strap felt a little bit stiff and I thought it might be uncomfortable on the shoulder near my neck. Not so. It is very comfortable and I have a heavy bass on it. I will be buying the same again to replace a fabric one I have on another bass.

Too smooth!
The quality of the strap is nice and the width is good, very comfortable but I wish the leather had more grip. A rough finish on the underside would be perfect.

Solid
The strap itself is fairly sturdy, I feel comfortable using it. Getting it to fit over the strap buttons was a real pain though, the PU leather is really tough and not very flexible. It can also chafe your shoulder a bit.
