Is this a thing?
I have a rubber strap on my sandstorm, and it looks like it has dandruff....
Do rubber straps just attract fluff and flakes in your experience?? Or is it just this one (which does have a ridged textured strip down the centre)
Is silicone any easier on the eye??
There's only so many times I can wash this strap in a day!!!
I won't post any pics.........

Re: Rubber strap - fuzz magnet
Silicone rubber straps collect fluff and dust.
Natural rubber and variants e.g. EPDM rubber, do not.

Re: Rubber strap - fuzz magnet
The Barton Elite silicone straps suffer from fluff attraction to a much lesser degree in my experience. They are great straps for the price too, very comfortable, look good and are quick release.

Thanks - I've got one of these, and indeed never noticed it to be a fluff magnet.
