I'm considering buying a couple because the quick release spring bars are easier for me. Thought I'd check to see if anyone's tried them,and if so, what you think. Thanks.

Yes, have one on my Sub41, and I like it.

*For anyone who wants a free 23mm lug width one in Navy, message or text me.

Cool. Didn’t know they made these. It was hard to find a link. Added for anyone else’s convenience.

Yep- picked up a Navy 24mm for the Panerai, and a Black 21mm for the Sub41. Really like them, and price point is right.

How is the comfort for those that have these? The quote below gives me pause, and I find myself not wearing a few of my Uncle Seiko rubber straps simply because they're too stiff (phrasing!)

"NOTE: TPU is a much thicker and sturdier material than silicone or rubber. While it will soften slightly over time, please be aware that this strap is designed to endure the harshest of elements and has a firm fit."

It’s pretty stiff. The silicone dive straps are much more comfortable to me.
