Hi Michael, thanks for the feedback regarding the stiffness of the NATO. We want you to have a strap that feels right, so we’re glad you accepted the replacement we sent over! We hope this new style provides the flexibility you were looking for.
Thanks for the shout-out! It sounds like you’re building quite the collection. Glad to hear the NATO and the Smoke Grey are both hitting the mark for you.
“These Barton two-piece NATO style straps give you the comfort, hard wearing and sporting look of a full NATO style strap but without the case elevation, and with less strap and fewer keepers. I like them.”
“I really like the ease of installing the band. I put it on a Tsao Torsk diver , and love the look. If there’s one drawback is the fabric is pretty stiff, but I’m thinking it will loosen up the more I wear it.”
