22Mm Athletic 5 Silicone Strap - Fading
-
I really like the Athletic 5 strap because it’s light, breathable and comfortable. My only complaint/constructive criticism is that the outer layer does seem to fade pretty quickly and changes from clear to white. See photo.
Because I wear the smaller size strap, I have cut the spare larger strap down in size to fit, which brightens it up a bit, but of course I don’t have a spare strap with the buckle end so it’s a bit off.

You should see the athleric 7 loop Texile in Coral orange after only a few weeks. It’s almost white.
It’s not like Suunto straps are cheap. Not buying an other suunto strap again.

@elbee Estaba pensando en comprar la naranja que mencionas, no la recomiendas? encuentro las correas textiles mas practicas sobre todo a la hora de entrenar, recomiendas alguna de otra marca?

La correa está bien. Parece viejo y desgastado en semanas. Por lo que obtienes, creo que es demasiado caro.
Pero no he probado ninguna otra banda de nylon tan gorda.

That pin at the end is a terrible design, it cuts into your wrist when working at a desk. The nylon strap is infinitely better but it’s harder to get onto a bike handlebar or charge it quickly.
I wish someone would copy Apple’s silicon buckle design, that is so comfy!

The green strap of the SV2 is fading out it’s green color, too

@Derrick-Spafford yes, this is happening to many of those straps…
