I love them! Very comfortable, easily adjustable, and very well made. I used to purchase NATOs but switched after discovering these. Have the black and olive and will likely get the blue and khaki in the future. Here's one on my Lunar Pilot...
Yes. I have the original Invasion A2 strap. Was looking for single pass NATOs as I could never get used to the buckle position on NATO straps with underkeepers. With single pass, I can adjust the strap lengths at 12 and 6, to my liking.
I would say the material is slightly thicker than you average $15-$30 NATO. Feels very sturdy on the wrist. Some might say a little too thick, as depending on lug length, maybe slightly harder to get the strap through the gap between case and spring bars. The material's stiffness can also play a part if you don't like your watch too tight on your wrist (as I don't), as the strap has a tendency to 'flare' upwards at the spring bars, before curling down towards your wrist. But overall, they look great, feel tough and in my mind, worth the money.
I see they've made some changes to the keepers and have reinforced the holes and strap ends with additional materials, to stop them from presumably fraying. But it appears you can still get the non-reinforced versions (which mine is) as well.
Hope this helps!

Thanks, it does!

Thanks, I keep trying to keep a nato on a watch, but always end up swapping back to a bracelet or leather. Maybe this will be the combo that I’m looking for
