I don't have any experience with them ("then why are you responding?"). I checked the length and it's the same as the Helm nylon I referenced above, and now I am wondering if the strap tail can be folded back in a similar fashion.

I ordered several of these Luff straps (https://www.luffwatchstrap.com/collecti ... ment-strap). The length is also the same. Will report back.

Thanks. That’s really helpful... and cool strap!

Looking for a recommendation for inexpensive 18mm, short, NATO strap, my wrist is 6.25". I liked the ones [mention]recapt[/mention] posted from Ali, tudor style, but that seller only carries 20 & 22mm width.

Thanks in advance

I can't personally vouch for these specific straps but CNS has them in 18mm:

Maybe someone else can chime in about them? I mean they look alright and I know CNS has mixed reviews. I've bought from them before without issue, but each product is different

I have a 6.25" wrist too and do not recommend these straps. Maybe I'm wearing them wrong, but the keepers end up being too close to the watch for my liking. Not awful, but I wouldn't buy more than what I already have. I can share photos tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to put the watch between the two keepers, but with smaller wrists, you don't really have room to do that.
Putting the watch under the keepers gives you a good fit. I'm not sure how secure the adjustment is. I fixed it incorrectly, but more securely, but that caused problems with the buckle not having enough room for the tail to tuck under. Changing the buckle configuration to this allows the tail to tuck, but also makes the adjustable bit a little looser. I don't think it will move once buckled, but you might need to be careful when putting the watch on and taking it off since these are smoother seatbelt nylon. I got these because there were patterns I couldn't find on any other straps, they match specific watches perfectly, and I'll keep wearing them because of that. But they wouldn't be my first choice.

[mention]Sussa[/mention] what's the diameter of your wrist? It looks like that watch head should fit between the keepers.

My wrist diameter is 50mm. The first two photos show the watch between the keepers. It fits, but I don't like how the rest of the strap fits when the head is there. The buckle rests at the lower outside edge of my wrist, prime location for snagging on everything.The tail is too long to stick out, too short to tuck. It could be trimmed, but I don't think I could trim it enough to be satisfactory for me and still buckle.

I wore the Poljot all day on that strap and the adjusted part loosened a little, but only enough to go from "just right" to "a little too loose."

Is there a particular watch you're looking for a strap for? If so, I'm happy to search my collection for a similar L2L to see how well/if it fits between the keepers.

All good I understand what your saying now.

Artem just released their sailcloth straps in XS!!! 20mm only. Reportedly will fit 5.9" to 6.5".
