Rubberized leather straps for people who sweat a lot

Well obviously every stap leaves an imprint if worn too tight. However this one is different!
In my opinion this strap lacks curvature which e.g. leather normally forms to the shape of the arm after wearing for some time.
After wearing this strap for few weeks it was still perfectly straight and didnt curve around the arm, and consequently too tight on the sides of the arm, (but surely not too tight overall).
I even tried to shape it, by using hot wated. But in the end i didnt like the feel of it.

I have a modern omega ruber strap on my Seamaster now, and it has pre-curved shape, so it hugs perfectly around the wrist without leaving any marks, well worth the money in my opinion.

Is it because the strap is new (and rigid) and needs breaking in? I had an Omega HB-SIA Solar Impluse on the factory rubber strap and that thing was so comfortable. It's super flexible and rests on the wrist in an amazing way. I wonder is that type of flexibility is possible when there's a layer of leather stitched on top of it.

Its very hard to find hirsch in my country and the tax for buying one online offshore were mad (>40% tax) so i found cheaper alternative from Nomadwatchworks and still waiting for the packagr, the seller said it was inspired by hirsch james

I dont think that possible because this silicone rubber were very strech-able while leather not that much even though it did break in

I was thinking about that initially but I have a few high-quality leather straps that are quite flexible. Maybe have a bigger rubber to leather ratio will help with flexibility.

The nomad strap have arrived, the colour not quite similar with hirsch but the rubber feel very soft if you consider the price only around $20 6H0Vj5V
