Comfortable strap with hipster looks
I own two of those cool looking guitar straps, mostly attracted by the worn looks. I wasn't familiar with the brand, but the strap turned out to be extremely comfortable with the soft padding. The cushion adheres to the clothes nicely and gives an impression of you and your gear being one thing. The strap doesn't produce any slippage nor movement even while playing dynamically, whether we wear t-shirt or jacket.
The only complaint is that the strap itself is quite stiff and doesn't fold as nicely as straps made from other materials. However, most of the time I managed to put it into the gig-bags or hard shells on top of the guitars without much problems.
The length adjustment should be enough for guitar players. 150 centimeters is the limit. However some bass players may look into dedicated bass strap from the same vendor due to the increased width of the strap by 3 centimeters. There are only 3 holes in the strap, separated by a considerable distance, so without a proper adjustment one may end up with the rest of the strap hanging annoyingly.
I played with the strap with and without strap-locking systems and I didn't have any issues with the strap unlocking. This may be due to the fact that the straps are relatively new, some other reviews may have impressions after years of usage when the strap attachments are considerably more worn.
The price makes this strap a clear winner, for this comfort level and cool looks it's not easy to find a viable alternative. Color spectrum may be limited, but the worn styling may be appealing for vintage guitar players. The fact that the strap doesn't just hung on you, but rather hugs you gives a slightly more immersive playing experience. However, guitar spins might be difficult with this strap if you are into those tricks.

Misleading and disappointing
Misleading description - Soft leather- this thing is everything but soft. Its hard, stiff, not pliable and when you try to plie it - it will definitely start showing cracks. the leather doesn't feel natural at all- it feels like synthetic leather . I already had purchased one Minotaur strap last year and will throw it away now cause it's cracking all over the leather ...bad quality...

"used look" is a bit of a reach, but overall happy with it
I'm quite happy with the strap itself. It feels sturdy, is thick, and seems to be of good quality. Only thing that I'm not that happy with is the "used look"
Doesn't really matter much to me, however, I'm happy with it.

My trusty guitar strap
This strap has been for some years now on my Fender Telecaster. I have played approx. 100 concerts with it, many more rehearsals and I am super happy about it. It is very comfortable on the shoulder, it still looks like new to me and goes very well with the sunburst color of my guitar. I am using it in combination with black strap locks of Schaller.

Got the looks, it's comfy BUT...
...as with each and every Minotaur padded guitar and bass strap I've ever bought, it's only a matter of time until the leather or whatever material is on the back side will start cracking and dissolving fairly quickly.
In terms of comfort they are top notch especially if you opt for the wider models (it depends how heavy your instrument is as well).
I've given up their straps long time ago, so unless this issue has been resolved on the newers models, I can't and don't recommend them.

Nice Guitar Strap
Here we havet a brown leather guitar strap that Minotaur desigedn in a used worn brown look. On first look the strap seem to be a very high quality one. It's padding looks soft, it has a beautiful old brown color to it and its in the right size for most people (can be adjust to be shorter or longer).
I'm playing an 335 type electric guitar, and once I used the strap foe the first time, right away I started feeling the weight of the guitar on my shoulder. It didn't happened with my past straps.
In my opinion, once used with light weight guitars such as strats or teles it will be just fine, but when using with archtops or a heavier guitar, you might think about getting a different strap to protect your shoulders.
In overall it is a nice and good looking strap made by Minotour that fits light weight guitars.

Nice and well padded
I bought this strap because it seemed to be well padded and it is. The "used look" looks somewhat fake in real life. The quality is ok, not top notch but not the worst either. Length is great and you can wear it as low as you want. A good buy.

Bought this strap ~ 2 years ago. Since then it's my main strap for all of my three guitars. Good quality, very comfortable to wear and i like the width of the strap.
