Just picked up a black/yellow velcro strap for my 111. This thing is so stiff! Any suggestions to help break it it? It's almost to stiff to wear, I love the look but it's not comfortable at all.

They are super stiff when new. Wear it in the shower, and just try to stick it out, will get more and more comfortable with wear and it is a cool strap.

Yeah I sold both of mine (blk/yel & blk/blue) because I didn't want to wait for them to break in.

Worn mine in the shower last night. It is better today....

Still pretty stiff though.

Pics?

I just put the rubber w/deployment buckle back on. I think the velcro strap will be hitting the sales section momentarily.

It will definitely break in with a few days of wear.

I have the black/blue for my 24. Keep us posted(no pun intended) on the the 'break in' period. I've considered changing the deployant rubber for the Velcro one for variety sake.

Yellow Velcro about to be on the Sales Forum. It doesn't get any better than the Deployment on Rubber imo.

Agree it's hard to beat OEM rubber Sam. My Velcro strap never left the box.
