FKM Rubber Straps

Hello!
Please suggest companies that sell FKM rubber straps that give option for smaller lengths.
I don’t like when the tail oversizes your wrist and reach above the case. I want a thicker band than Barton. TIA!

A fitted strap from Vanguard. Much better…

I like ISOfrane. Very comfortable for a rubber strap.

A strap made in the right length will definitely be better for everyday wear.

Those straps that Bill suggested look great!

Thank you for that suggestion! I might be
missing something, but I don’t see any options on their site for different wrist size options. Please advise… Some manufacturers for Luxury watches allow you choice of small or regular; like my Tudor strap from Vanguard. Burton gives 2 band lengths with their orders; not my preferred company though.

Given these weren’t too expensive. I ended up cutting the straps for a slimmer fit. Still hoping I can find a generic strap company with small vs. regular purchasing option. Sigh… Lol
