Hey fellas. I'm thinking about buying some more after market straps. What do you guys think of HEROIC 18 straps? Any input or pics would be great. thx

I've reviewed four of their straps in my aftermarket review section, not sure if you've seen them?

I own four of their straps and I really like them especially for the cost. In that price range I think they are probably one of the best. Now when some of the higher end guys have a sale like Sandave, I do have to say that I might go that direction instead, but at their regular discounted prices with freebies and stuff its hard to be H18.

Thanks for the input admin. You made my decision that much easier. Continue the good work! I would still love to see any other pics from you Heroic 18 owners out there.

Here are some picture of my PAM 312 with Heroic 18

are they soft and comfortable? they look thick and stiff...

It's a little difference from strap to strap ....

The Saddle Brown was relatively soft from the start, the Italian Grained Black was tiny bit stiffer while the Crazy Horse strap was pretty stiff .... but already after a few days of use they feel good to wear.

Mine turned out to be very stiff and uncomfortable due to the rather thick leather, which made it difficult to bend around my small wrists.

Another drawback I found out is that they are not very flexible with accommodating various strap lengths. Their marketing guy told me that they follow the theory of "one size should fit all". I was wearing the strap for a couple of months but it remained uncomfortable and very soon I changed it out with a strap from another maker.
