Anyone used Rubberb - half leather half rubber strap?
Trying to get this one for use in the summer (sweating and everything)
Does anyone have experience with the half leather (on the top) and half rubber (on the bottom) from rubberb? Thanks. |

I've had the rubberb strap for around 2 years now. I'm not at my house atm but once I get back, I'll show you some pictures of how it has faired over the years. In the summer its my go-to strap because the inside portion is rubber and doesn't get smelly with sweat (I sweat a ton) It's been a few years and I dont see myself replacing it any time soon.
In the mean time, I have this pic of my Daytona with the regular rubber b strap. This one is 3 years old and still looks as good as new. |

I haven't had much experience with the leather/rubber strap but their rubber straps are pretty solid. I've had 2 of them over the past 3 years and I don't regret the purchase. I use the straps whenever I'm not at work, I'm looking to get a leather one so I can just leave it on 24/7

Ok I just got home, so here are a few pictures. I'm no photographer but I tried to do my best so you could see the details. I got the crocodile one and its great. If you look at the back, it cleans up well and doesn't smell at all since your concern is for the summer. I hope this helps your decision
