Yes, indeed. Simplicity, lightness of weight, functionality, durability and reliability are all essential design elements of this amazing strap. The strap material is ballistic grade, able to bear 4,000 pounds force, I am told. There are no steel wires involved. In all my almost 6 decades of experience as a photographer (I began young), working with cameras and straps of all kinds, I must say that I have Never had one stolen while it was in my possession. I have had equipment stolen from my car, but that is a situation where the strap material would make little or no difference. Maybe I am just lucky? But if I find myself in a situation where there is a prospect of robbery or theft, I tend to keep my hand on my camera as it rides comfortably on my hip or behind my back. If someone is so aggressive that they would physically take it from me, my camera may be the least of my worries. This strap is strong so it would take multiple cuts with a razor or box cutter. If someone is doing that while I am wearing it, I suspect I would simply give them the camera. If that didn't solve the problem, then I will be immediately going into an aggressive personal defense mode and the camera might actually become one of my weapons. Fortunately I have never had to face that situation. Hope you do not either. My suggestion is: Buy the strap and enjoy its many benefits. Make photographs and enjoy life.

However I am worried by theft. What about anti-theft resistance ? some other straps are steel wired. Is your theft-proof or is possible an upgrade ? regards Hi

What a brillant idea, I so dislike wearing my camera so it juts out from the front of my body and the weight off the neck will be a treat. If you are crazy busy I don't need them before Christmas. I am giving some of them as gifts obviously but it doesn't have to be for Christmas. Yes, I am happy to pay the postage to Canada:) How do you want payment? Hope all is well in your world. Say hi to Laurie. Wendy Hi Roger,
