Building on their extensive experience with innovative camera straps and bags, Outer Shell’s new Rope Strap and Wrist Strap are slimmed down for photographers seeking understated function and style. Check out the details of the new San Francisco-made designs here…

A few months back, our Californian friends at Outer Shell unveiled two new minimalist camera strap designs. We’ve long been fans of their super stable Camera Strap for securing our cameras off-road (see Miles’ review in the related posts grid below), and for the brand new Rope Strap and Wrist Strap, they slimmed down the acclaimed original with a focus on around-town use and mellow photo-pace rides. Looking eminently functional and stylish, the new designs stand out as quintessentially Outer Shell—quite the accomplishment in the saturated world of camera straps. Let’s zoom in to the details.

Outer Shell Rope Strap

Outer Shell Rope Strap

The minimalist Rope Strap ($39) is for photographers who want something slimmed down and simple. It inherits key features from the burlier Camera Strap like the one-handed adjustment and modular connectors. The hollow rope lies flat, and there’s a bit of dynamic stretch that reportedly took a surprising number of iterations to get just right. Light cameras attach via the tough nylon push-buckles by OP/TECH USA, while heavier systems hang via the bare webbing or the optionally available quick-disconnect Peak Design Anchor Links.

Outer Shell Wrist Strap

Outer Shell Wrist Strap

The Wrist Strap ($25) is an elegant design that tightens under the weight of the camera, keeping it secure while on the move. Likely ideal for point-and-shoots and compact mirrorless systems, the comfortable hollow rope construction and durable webbing mean even heavier DSLRs are no burden. Since the Rope Strap and Wrist Strap use the same modular webbing attachment, photographers can easily clip back and forth between the two straps depending on the situation.
