I converted to rubber straps two year ago and wear them all year round.

My bonklip is light and breathable, also easy to adjust if needed.
I'd get the sweatiest wrist if I wore rubber straps in this weather. Wouldn't be a problem if I had access to a pool.Originally Posted by Normunds
Might need to consider that or just lighter/airier bracelets in general.
Bracelet for me every time when it's hot
So hot today I had to change watches and put the strap on this. Rubber is the worst in this heat but this Seiko MarineMaster strap is almost plastic and doesn't rub.
Titanium ftw
Don't just do something, sit there. - TNH
Open-weave perlon [ LINK ] :

I'm finding the Erika's MN straps most comfortable as the world around me melts. They don't seem anywhere near as sweaty as a rubber strap and I largely avoid bracelets as my wrists seem to inflate markedly once it's over 25 degrees outdoors.
Only just replaced a leather with this today to see how it goes. I'm not a nato man but this victorinox nato seems to do a job. Well today it has.

NATO, without a doubt.

Eulit Perlon
Light, lasts for years, improves with age, infinitely adjustable, easy to wash and dry's quickly
Another perlon man here! I also love the two-piece ones from Eulit.
Bonklip (Joseph Bonnie) when it's too hot for a Nato.

Like that combo, something I need to experiment with
The best strap to wear in this hot weather is a jock strap. Nothing else, just a jock strap.

That said, what watches do you own that you might wear whilst in your jock strap?
F.T.F.A.
A pocket watch with Prince Albert chain perhaps?

What I meant was, what watches do you own? This being a watch forum first and foremost.
Not the prettiest but essential on hot days. Arrived today and well worth the money.
Glide lock maxed out on a watch which isn't top heavy.
Glidelock bracelet for me but im finding a tropic to be pretty cool and comfortable atm.
I dont get on with nato or perlon in heat.
Leather is out, obviously.
Bracelet can work, provided your wrist doesn't swell much or you have a glidelock style clasp, as modelled by Wileeeeeey above. However, if it's loose as shown then my experience is that sweat can make it even more prone to sliding around uncomfortably. Particularly bad on a top heavy watch, as pointed out.
The best for me is NATO. Doesn't make my wrist feel sweaty, is adjustable, is washable and dries quickly. The design means that the watch stays in place without the strap having to be tight. The fact that you can swap straps in seconds means that where necessary, if your wrist swells, you can easily achieve the perfect adjustment between holes by putting on a different NATO with slightly different hole placement.

Yeah, the webbing straps are fine, but I resent having to wash them and dry them out. Reckon silicon or bracelet is better.
BUT - micro-adjustment of a strap/bracelet can be useful as your wrist swells in the heat.
Definitely a nato for me too, and if working outside the smaller the better. A G10 on an 18mm nato when it's this hot!
You're risking the Plexiglas melting on that one today!
I've got a GS Sapphire for when it gets too toasty
I've been using the zuludiver space programme inspired velcro.
Fabric and infinitely adjustable is a great combo in the recent weather.
Nick Mankey for me, works brilliantly in the hot weather
Same here.

NATO's have my vote.
