Got the Bond NATO from Timefactors and I like that too. I would say that the TSS pips it (only just) for quality of feel.

Think I might get either an olive or grey strap next!

No problem, John. We'll take you in.
But I agree w/ Fernando, gold hardware would really make that combo sing.

Can anyone report long term durability with NATOs.

I have straps from TSS and Timefactors and I really like them both. The black TSS strap has become shiny when looked at from certain angles. This strap has been worn all day every day (apart from showering) for about 2 weeks.

The Timefactors Bond is starting to fray at the buckle hole. This strap has been worn the same as above but for only about 1 week.

Now I know these are very inexpensive items but I kinda expected a more than a few weeks wear from them.

I have tried washing the TSS strap to see if it was dirty but it didnt seem to make any difference.


Thanks

Dave

Great to see the troops looking so fit. Thanks for the contributions, everyone.
Here's a few straps I've added lately although they aren't made of nylon.
