pelagic Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Has anyone purchased this strap? Just wondering what your thoughts were on it. Thought it looked nice thinking about getting it for my 089. If you dont mind posting up some pics of your 089 strap combos I would appreciate it, trying to get ideas. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I remember reading that a batch of these kevlar straps arrived smelling badly of FISH, and the end buyers could not get rid of the smell. I kid you not. Not sure if it was this particular one, or if it is still a problem, but you may want to do a search on "fish" and "kevlar" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuDro Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I have one of these from Ted Su on my U-BOAT and love it! I don't think there is any kevlar in these straps, just the "near-kevlar look." There was a lot of chatter on this over at WUS. These straps bear a really strong resemblence to the Maratac Elite strap that sells for under $20. Regardless, the look and weight of this strap/buckle combo is AWESOME! The only downside for me is that I can't wear it for more than 5-6 hours because the weight of the buckle digs into my wrist... Show us a pic when you get it mounted!

Drulee Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Is this the one that some buyers complained of the smell, or was it another "kevlar" strap maker whose shipment go soaked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 it is great, but the buckle is so big, that if you rest your arm on a table, that it does not always wear comfortable. Ted Su has some ceramic coated ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milesd Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Don't buy the rep! I owned the rep and it was SO stiff, it was uncomfortable to wear. The Ted Su is so much smoother and soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelagic Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I would love the ted su just cant afford it right now. Anyone want to sell there rep strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuDro Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Order this just for the buckle and order a Maratac Elite (un-notched), and you should still be cheaper than a Ted Su. I would love the ted su just cant afford it right now. Anyone want to sell there rep strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelagic Posted October 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I like the look of the Maratac Elite. Thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
