    My Tissot Tour de France came on a factory NATO strap that's 1.6mm thick and feels really substantial. Conversely, it seems that most NATOs available online are (relatively) flimsy 1.2mm material, or occasionally 1.4mm but only in single colors. Does anyone know of a company that makes decent heavier weight NATOs in something other than boring monochromes?

    Unfortunately the better quality, thicker NATO style straps tend to come in OD, black, grey and sand.

    I found these straps from BLUSHARK. They are made from same material as seatbelts. Very nice quality and finish as well. limited colors though. I have one and find it very smooth to touch but rugged and secure. Had for about 3 months and very happy with it. Seems the tight weave also lessens dirt from getting trapped in fibers as well.

    Thanks. Moose straps seem pretty nice too, but again only in monochromes or “Bond.” :(

    Yes< I thought about reaching out to make few suggestions on colors and styles to add to list.
