It felt nice, pretty comfortable overall.  Although because of its thinness, I had to be pretty particular of how I passed over my shoulders.  It felt better gathered instead of rolled with ruck straps for me.  It did get diggy with my 2.5 year old.     How much diagonal stretch does the wrap have? None How supportive did you find it in a single layer carry? It felt quite supportive. And surprisingly so, given its thinness.  It w
