Anyone tried one of these before? i'm mildly intrigued.

I reviewed it a couple of years ago. Sounded interesting but in practice I hated it. A solution looking for a problem. Zero upside compared to a traditional NATO or an MN style strap.

Seems very large for what it is.

bummer. i did read that they're on a v3 which has a smaller clasp, but i was more curious than "omg i need this."

I have the original clasp in 20 and 22mm. The system works well and whilst I’d like the smaller clasps, it’s not economically justifiable to me to upgrade. I bought my clasps and straps pre-owned.

Glad to see they improved it... but the issue is that you are still putting a chunky clasp on a thin flexible strap which is uncomfortable doing activities like typing.
