Jessica Rousseau uses OP/TECH USA straps on all of her cameras from her Leica to a heavy DSLR with a big zoom lens attached. "The neoprene makes my 5lb-plus camera and lens comfortable to carry in all situations. I have had the strap wrapped around my neck and wrist in various configurations while riding a bike through forest tracks, while climbing to the top of a 100ft plus mast on a sailing ship in Antarctica, and while dangling off a rock face photographing rock climbers just to name a few. The strap is extremely comfortable and uniquely versatile, is lightweight and non-bulky so it doesn't get in my way when I'm trying to get the out-of-the-way shots. It has never failed me and even though it is coming into its 11th year of use it's still solid. I trust it 100% to hold my gear."

Kennan & Karen Ward: For 25 years now I have made my living photographing wild places and wild animals. When I was younger it was hard to imagine any pain coming from doing the things I love to do; adventure! Luckily, early on I found the OP/TECH USA camera straps. I could not even think of using anything else! I have seen imitations, but OP/TECH USA is superior in quality, and two steps ahead of the technical advances. When I see my buddies bent over and talking about chiropractors when they get home, I buy them OP/TECH USA gear for their birthday. I have a lot of good friends, and they all use the product now when I see them! Thank you OP/TECH USA, we love your products!

I am writing to inform you of my experience with a Soft Pouch™Zippeez which I purchased about 18 months ago to encase my new Minolta Dimage G400 camera. To be brief, I will tell you the pouch fell from my backpack while I was hiking in the Pocono Mountains on 11/27/05. In early 02/2006 I returned to the area on the chance I might find the camera. After walking for nearly an hour in an attempt to retrace my route, I paused for a moment and there at my feet was the black camera pouch - I had nearly stepped on it. I should mention that there had been sub-freezing temperatures and over a foot of snow. The pouch was completely dry inside and the camera worked perfectly. I just wanted to let you know I think you make a great product.

Thanks.
