I have checked the POTN forum for strap recommendations. They vary, with Op/Tech being popular.

My wife and I have tried these. I use a double and like it fine. She has the Op/Tech Pro I think, but the neoprene does not adjust to sit on her shoulder properly.

Any recommendations from happy women shooters?

Thanks

I tried both the Black Rapid for women and the cinch v1. I've come to the conclusion that straps just look ridiculous for women, the way they go right between the breast just doesn't look good to me..
I now use a Think Tank strap and like it, it's grippy and small. I've used the CPS strap, but I think it's too wide in the shoulder for women..
