I can’t believe I haven’t seen this before - but Ares straps on sale for $22. I already have the Aloha - and now will have the Black Poppies of War.
These 22mm straps are very nice…
They’re nice if you have normalish sized wrists but a tiny but short if you’re a thick wristed gorilla.

Do you have any "poppies"?

Ares website. The pictures won't load on my old ipad so was using my phone, which loaded the photos very erratically. It's possible the sold out message was wrong.

Website showed sold out on the $22 NATO’s. There wasn’t an option to add them to the cart.

I got these two PVD hardware versions when the straps first came out. I think I wore each of them once.
I’ll let ‘em go 10 bucks a pop.

You want the darker one?
Hey Nick- I’ll pay for both, but ship RJ the dark one?

I don't get it when the straps are out of order all year long. Can't the Company has a bulk order like 100 or 500 pcs for one shipment from supplier?

Cool straps. It looks like Ares teamed up with Andrew Bawidamann to use his "Poppies of War" artwork for the strap. Andrew is an incredible artist and sells a lot of cool gear and clothing. Check out his website if you haven't already. Here's his apparel page...

Looks pretty good Mike. That first one you posted as well, it's a cool distinct pattern.

Well I’ve clearly missed them again. If anyone has any of the poppies of war straps they’re looking to sell, let me know I’ll buy em!
