What is your favorite bass strap?

I lost my Reunion Blues merino wool strap. Nice to see I have so many other options.

Comfort Straps at home, practice, and backup at gigs. At gigs, on my main player I have a very nice all leather 3 1/2" wide custom made leather strap, but still prefer the Comfort Straps, been using them 15 or more years (however long they've been in production) still have my originals, they've held up incredibly well!

I used 3 1/2" instead of 4" on my custom because my 4" Levy straps dig into my neck, the 3 1/2 doesn't.

I use straps by GuitStrapped. Expensive, and the guy who makes them names them with goofy names, but fantastically comfortable. They're 4 1/2" wide, with real lamb's wool underneath.
The strap that was stolen is the "Maltese Mad Hatter", you can see it on "Hall Of Fame" on his website. The strap I still use to this day is called "Agressor", you can see on "Portfolio I".
That said, I have to say the MONO Betty looks pretty good, and cheaper.
 
Moody 4" leather-backed for me. Here and there I've tried Italia 4", Pete Schmidt 3.5", and Franklin 3"; they are nice, too.

For non-leather, the Neotech 3.5" super bass strap is my favorite. I've had mine for 10 years now.
