Great, heavy-duty strap. Takes a little break it time to soften up (very gov-spec feeling). This is the hook-loop straps I would wear for rough, adventurous activities. Water skiing, snow skiing, mtb, WW rafting, fast boat........where you really want to make sure your not going to lose your watch from an impact with something. Heavy-duty materials, and the addition of the keeper make it work. Priced like a government hammer, but it's going to last.
