That ease of shorting the strap around your neck like on the spur of the moment that is a great feature I never had with my Domke’s.
But a wrist strap like that that hand is gone. Tied to your camera. That’s why I like a wrapped neck strap used for the same purpose around my hand because when I must free up that hand I can hang the thing around my neck. (was would be intended by the length of the strap(.

I use the ultra flexible Peak Design strap/wrist strap combinations. You can use the strap in a multitude of ways with three connectors, and keep changing the method of use. If a strap is too cumbersome then in 10 seconds switch to the wrist strap! It really is an extremely hassle free system!

As for bags for travel, use Billingham - they double as a secure repository for wallets, travel documents and the like as well. It is extremely impossible that a thief could snitch anything from them. The Hadley series is especially nice, with a good range of sizes - I use a Hadley Small for street or travel.
