Stretched out
I’ve been wearing this band for a week now and it has stretched out to the point where it is loose even on the tightest setting. My wrist is rather large (7.25in). Otherwise a very stylish and well built band.EDIT - I was wrong, the band didn’t stretch. The position of my watch shifted slowly over time and lead me to think it was stretched until I repositioned it. Sorry! The band is great.

Comfortable and well fitting.
Better then any natos I’ve used. Holds right and tight with out being overly constricting. Material is comfy but also grippy preventing it from sliding up and down your arm and wrist.Only thing I don’t like is that unlike natoStrap, you have to remove springs bars to install.No biggie since they include spring bar remover and some extra spring bars.The hook part can be tricky to attach until you get the hang of it.Already ordered a second one.

These are a little long
Overall the quality seems fine. The elastic is good, and it is extremely comfortable and light. My only niggle is that being one size fits all, they are a little on the long side, so if you have medium to small wrists, the tension adjustment may leave the hardware on the extreme sides of your wrist. Not necessarily a flaw, but does affect the comfort a little.

Would be good for bigger wrists.
Felt good on the wrist and easy to install, but my wrist was too small. Would recommend wrist size of 7.5 inches and up.

Affordable Erika’s Alternative
When Erika’s was sold out I started looking elsewhere and found this. I really wanted a green strap with the red stripe. This fits the bill and is way cheaper. The Shade of green is exactly what I was expecting based on the image. It looks pretty great on my Aquatico Bronze Sea Star.I’m almost gave it 4 instead of 5 because I had trouble keeping the slider in the same place as I was putting the watch on. As my first parachute strap I don’t know if this is normal. The other thing was how long the strap is. As others have noted, it is long. I have 6.75” wrist and the buckle/slider ended up in the same place as a NATO strap. Check out the pictures. It doesn’t bug me but I could see it being an issue for other people.

Best MN Strap I’ve bought.
OK, I've owned a few MN straps - and I've often considered upgrading to an Erika's Original or another similar tier brand - but after finding this one? I doubt it.IThis is by far the most comfortable fabric strap (either NATO or MN style) that I've bought. It's a little hinky getting used to latching it - it's not as easy as my others, but that's a minor issue.You totally forget you're wearing this strap.Post script: I’ve bought a second one of these straps now, and have put them through their paces - this strap wet is just as comfortable as dry.I don’t know what they put in this strap, but it’s a real joy.

If you have small(er) wrists please don’t waste time your time
You’ll end up returning it. Horrible fit for small(er) wrists, bulky, just a backwards design. I’ve collected watches for about 13 years and I’m not even close to picky when it comes to straps. Decided to give these parachute straps a go and all I can say is they have awful fit and the keeper slides around somewhat. Just stick to Natos or Zulus if you have small wrists like me.

Different Look
Put this on a Daytona watch that I have been wearing with a Bund watch band and this makes the watch feel and look so much smaller switching from leather to Nylon the watch no longer is seating on a leather pad but is now on a Nylon strap so the watch seats much lower on the wrist than it did It will take sometime to get used to it .This setup is much lighter than the bund strap on the wrist which is nice and it wears allot cooler since we are in summer mod than leather .The strap appears to be well constructed no frayed ends .time well tell

Uniquely unique
The media could not be loaded. I have other parachute style straps, but this is the first one that is continuous. I think this makes it more secure in the sense that with the other versions of the strap that I have (that look like more traditional, open-ended watch bands) if one of the strap bars break or if the latch comes undone, your watch could potentially fall off. This is more like a traditional NATO strap in that if one of the bars snaps out the other bar will keep your watch on your wrist. Comfortable, secure, attractive. You can’t go wrong.

Llego!
The media could not be loaded. Después de haber cancelado la compra ya qué tenia varios días de retraso, sin más ni más llegó, se ve muy bien, siente muy bien, creo que podrían mejorar los herrajes por unos de mejor calidad, los qué trae se sienten delgados.Ahora debo ponerme en contacto con amazon para ver que procede.

After a year, constant slipping and loosening
Initially, this was a comfortable and easy to wear and remove watch band.After a year of medium use, it started slipping, causing floppy watch on wrist syndrome. It didn't used to and I tried moving the band position/tension to prevent this. I have now replaced this band with a nylon band with a quick release.For the cost, I do not recommend this band. I could have been happy to replace any band after 2 years, but this one every year would have been too expensive.

For big wrists
Great quality watchstrap, and also beautiful, but you gonna need a big wrist to wear it right, mine is 7in and the watchband barely holds the watch in place even with the adjustment at maximum.
