These are quite nice. They're all under $10. They're a bit stiff but the styling is great and the color choices are hard to beat.

I've bought some straps from them previously. Cheap but decent.

Really… Nobody’s gonna make the joke?
OK, serious question… Do they stretch much when wet?

Stiff enough to spank with?

Do they break in at all? I have a full cart and am hesitant reading how stiff they are.
Sucks these folks got hit with the NATO name troll, like our boy T, although they seem to have come out alright. The owner is not ugly, so that's cool.

They break in nicely and are all around excellent, especially for the money.

Nice little surprise last night from CNS Straps. The leathers are certainly cheap quality, but I'm not really a leather guy so these will probably do the trick. The ribbed straps I got feel a little stiff, so I'll wear them a bit and report back. Overall, for $45, I'm totally happy with them. Next time I'll skip the tracking, not really worth it

So, short term review. The ribbed straps are fine, still pretty stiff, but oddly stretch more than I expected when wet. Basically, they aren't Shiznits, that's for sure. No uncomfortable, at least not yet. We'll see if they wear in a bit. On the plus side, they are pretty thin, so fit well on some watches with limited lug clearance.
Again, for the money, no real complaints!

2 month update:
The ribbed straps have gotten the most use in my watch/strap rotation. The have not noticeably broken in or softened up at all. Not a bad thing necessarily, but these are certainly note as comfortable as some of my higher end NATOs. On the plus side, they don't seem to care about being wet, and don't really get loose in the water like other straps; and they will probably last a LONG time
I'll stick to my "good for the money" opinion, knowing they're are better straps out there, for more $$$
