I bought a Eulit Panama and was similarly disappointed in how hard it is compared to the really cheap ones - undoubtedly a sturdier construction, but...
They melted the material in so many places that it creates hard, scratchy parts! Totally unacceptable on straps that cost so much. I tried to remove the sharpness, but even with most of them removed, it's just not as comfortable as the cheapo ones.
Would definitely not buy again.
