I've been doing some research into rubber strap options for my 214270. We all know Rubber B and Everest (Horus doesn't make anything that fits the Explorer 1, AFAIK), but has anyone purchased a strap from Vulcan?

According to an interview with the company's owner, the straps are produced entirely in London "alongside rubber parts for NASA and Formula 1". He claims this as a differentiating factor from RB and Everest. In addition, the configuration tool allows you to pick from 7 different colors - these can be applied to the strap itself along with the keepers, for a mix and match look.

Based on what I've seen, the strap holes are placed closely enough to avoid fit issues, and all anecdotal evidence I've been able to find seems to suggest that they're high quality. Price point is the same as Everest.

All that said, why can't I find more information about them here?
