    Help me find a strap?

    Morning, I am looking for a specific strap which is turning out to be much more difficult than I had imagined.

    - 18mm lug
    - Rubber (vulcanised/caoutchouc) nothing that's a lint magnet or wrist cutter
    - Orange
    - Not full of holes all the way around like isoprene etc

    Was looking at the Hirsch Pure but can't seem to find the 18/orange anywhere.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers.
    Pete.

    Barton?

    A little expensive, but they're high quality and very comfortable

    Have you tried searching "18mm FKM watch bands"? That usually gets you to proper rubber bands instead of the silicone ones. Something like
    https://www.dassari.com/product/fkm-rubber-strap/ maybe? That one seems a bit pricey, I'm sure if you can find something like it on Ali it's likely a third of the price. As long as you're not in a hurry with the shipping.

    The answer is always Cousins. A few here, even though silicone. I've had good experience with them not being lint magnets, even the black ones. And anyway at these prices you can't really complain. Recommend the diamond cut design - very comfy and a decent length.

    I have an 18mm Cousins orange tropic and I'm not a fan. The colour looks very washed out and it's not a patch on a Joseph Bonnie tropic which unfortunately are no longer available in 18mm.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
