This One’s A Këpur by J.D. Constantine

Manufactured by a company called Core One Creative, the Këpur 5.Zero Strap ($42.99) is made of a unique super-durable material called Këpurthane. Created by Core One’s proprietary process that coats and infuses nylon webbing with a special composite, this smooth and flexible jet-black material is more tear resistant than traditional strap materials, and since its texture is non-porous, it repels moisture and odors while inhibiting bacterial growth,too. Këpurthane has an unusual feel, somewhere between rubber and leather, and its flexible yet firm resilience spreads the weight evenly over your shoulder without digging in. The 5.Zero is three inches wide and can be adjusted to 62 inches, which makes it the longest strap in our round up.
