Same here!

@sartoric yep, should arrive sometime mid-August. I’ll report on the quality shortly after.

try a abanen (NA)/yooside (UK) hook and loop strap - lightweight, bit of stretch, and very secure as inner hoop is between wrist and strap; and the hook/bar prevents it coming through the lug. Buy two so while one is drying can wear the other. Work exceptionally well.

Unfortunately it seems they do not have 24mm … or maybe I’ve missed it -
@sartoric use the 26mm. Quite a few guys have been putting the 26mm on the Epix which is 22mm.

This image shows what the 26mm looks like on a 22mm lug bar. -

Received my strap today. First impression is really good, with the exception of the rather shortish spring bars. But … the spring bars and the tool are included, and to change the strap was not hard at all. The material feels good and it seems to be made welll. The mechanism to adapt the length and “tension” feels good, too. I am looking forward to using it, and see how it behaves and how it dries (or gets wet).

@Shrek3k
Let us know
I’m curious if it’ll wobbles -
@Jamie-BG
Well, in fact based on the way it is mounted on the pin, I could buy the 22 too.
I just need to figure out if it would be snugger having 2mm less or more -
@sartoric concerning size: my hand/arm is with 19cm the maximum size for S, which I ordered. And - that was perfect, as this is really the maximum size. In the tightest selection it seems stable and give good values while running, so anything bigger than S would have been too big for me
-
Had a run, cycled and showered with the strap, and wore it for more than 16 hrs without break.
And up to now it is more comfortable to wear than a regular strap, when tight enough to ensure good readings, and measurements have been excellent. So it has been a really good recommendation (for me). How durable the strap is? Don’t know. It looks really good, but after such a short time nothing else should have been expected
