I used to get pretty nice nato straps from maratac. I haven’t bought any in a while, which may be testament to their durability. They still look great.
I have been through all the cheap Nato’s, finally settled on Blueshark- I have a couple in every line they make: some super comfy and pliable, some way too thick and stiff. Haven’t tried the Omega strap but just can’t get my mind around the price for a nylon strap- but have no problem spending that on leather or a 2-3x for bracelet which serves the same purpose so it’s just a matter of personal perspective.
Well I ended up getting an Omega nato from another member here for 2/3 the list price. I have to say, yes, it’s well worth that price. The seatbelt material, edge finishing, and hardware are all a step up from standard natos. I haven’t been able to switch back to my metal bracelet since getting it - even though my wife keeps insisting the metal bracelet looks better.
Totally worth the money. Outstanding quality. I have 3 NATO’s from Omega, ask for 15% discount in store when buying or get one ordered to a store in an airport when flying anywhere and get 20% off. They need 3 weeks notice to get it in. Nothing comes close especially after 12 months wear when others are showing there age.
I have never tried one. But i don't see what a $160 nato strap can offer more than a $20 one. Except an omega logo.
Try one. They are superior to any other NATO out there. Your call whether it's "worth it " although I find that discussion weird when we're talking about immensely overpriced men's trinkets.
