Six Isofranes for $18.90? Silly, six of these for the price of one Isofrane.

Silly, six of these for the price of one Isofrane. So which one is the rip-off? I love mine I am ambivalent about mine. I wish it was a little thinner and I paid too much inasmuch as they are overpriced. I think Pete you have the silicone TF version I sent you? But I have been wanting to try other colors and sizes so I just pulled the trigger on 1x22mm Orange 1x22mm Blue and 1x20mm Black. Utter Saturday night impulse buy.

I absolutely love this. Having been sucked into the market exclusivity hype of Isofrane and buying one for my Turtle I am happy to see far cheaper alternatives coming out. Don't get me wrong, the Isofranes are great straps but they ought to be, given the price. I bought a Borealis strap which is also natural rubber for about the same price as the Orbis Morgan offerings. The fact that the latter offers more colours is a bonus! Think I'll pick up a couple and yes, I'm vanilla tolerant. Thanks for posting this big guy!

The Timefactors is silicone, and while it is reasonably comfortable to wear, is a dust magnet. The Borealis straps I find to be a bit stiff, but at least they gather much less dust. I'm hoping they'll soften a bit with use. I'll keep the OM ones in mind for when I need more rubber straps.

The whole isofrane/WUS scheme is the epitome of internet forum shills. Its well accepted that Isofrane is made by bonetto cinturini and those cost about the same as these orbis morgan straps. add a little more cost for the custom work, but still terribly overpriced but a captive audience present with shills to rationalize it.

That's quite the read over there on WUS. Hard to believe folks get twisted over straps for cry'n out loud. I will order a red one and a blue one......it's like candy. Should have some fun with 'em.

I really like the understated green shade that Isofrane uses ... looked at the green OM offering and I cannot order it, it looks awful to me. I have a black Isofrane but don't really want to"invest" in another unless I have to. Anybody seen a green rubber strap comparable to the colour Isofrane uses ?
