Hirsch Extreme -- worth the money?

Post by Diaboliq » Fri Jun 04, 2010 12:55 pm

Since I can't afford the PAM 305 strap which I find EXTREMELY THEBEST around (and I had that cheapo replica of this one made in silicon and the damn thing BROKE in half!) , I'm considering the extreme for the zilla.. BUT.. At around $80 cheapest -- is it worth the money? :shrug:

Seems kinda lot for gummi strap.. :puke:

everyone who own that strap says its worth the money. I prefer this style so much i bought two and love them both. only $10 on ebay or panatime.

this style, without the writing

Also i love this one, bought it for $5 from Noah, but theyre also on Ebay for $7.50 shipped. Soft and comfy. im Buying a second for my OS300M (in black).

The extreme is solid and doesn't feel cheap at all.. It holds up to heavy use and isn't a lint lover. I've got the ones that came with my Korsbek... I wish it they were longer, but I don't think that would be a concern for you...

+1. It was about the best rubber I've had aside from Sinn. Soft yet supple and well made. Prolly worth it I would say.
