How To Keep NATO Strap In Place?
I like NATO straps for the color options that they offer. But it is annoying when the strap constantly slips out of place. Anyone have any hacks to help keep a NATO strap in place? Thanks!

Besides cut to length? Work a crease in at the bend spot. Supposedly the official technique is to fold back on the outside, not tucking behind, under the ring(s).
I find if you fold and tuck it in towards the watch so the end can't be seen gives it less chance to catch on anything
I concur with the two Crunchers who posted before me on working in a crease and tucking the strap in toward the watch. It also just takes a bit of time to break in a new NATO. I start working in the crease and after a couple of days of wearing it the strap starts to relax.
I appreciate your comments. I will give these suggestions a try.
