Out of all the bands I've seen on this thread, gotta say that the Khaki loop just looks gorgeous.....
Anyone grabbing last minute bands/straps before supplies dwindle further? Apple Watch Bands in Spring Collection Begin to Dwindle in Availability (lots of salty commenters in there).
I'm thinking of grabbing both Cargo Khaki Nike bands...

Can anybody confirm what the Sport Loop bands are like in hot weather - i.e Do they allow your skin to breath (i.e. not sweat!) like the Nylon bands do?
Thinking of buying my first Sport Loop based on this as I find my wrist sweats with my current Nike Sport Band even though it has ventilation holes!!

The loops seem to breath fine for me when it is hot. Exercising or whatever. It seems to dry quickly and can be cleaned with water if needed.
I don't use the loop if I am doing yard work or anything that could stain. Just like a nylon though.
Here are a few pics of the Cargo Khaki Nike Sport band. In keeping with the fellow poster who had the same color, I took one pic in WDW (on Splash Mountain) and you can see the Annual Pass “clip” slides perfectly on the band, along with my Etsy holder for the Magic Band. Also enclosed an outdoor pic showing a good contrast of the green and black.
Wait for a heatwave, buy one and if it doesn't work for you take it back.
I haven't tested mine in hot weather yet, but I can tell you that my gym has very limited A/C and gets hot. I have never, ever, found the sport loops to bother me in this situation, even when I'm doing HIIT on the treadmill and sweating buckets. The band will get humid/moist but I don't feel it until I stop exercising. Then it dries fast-ish. My wrist doesn't sweat any more than the rest of me. The loop actually stops sweat from dripping down my wrist to my hand, which is appreciable when I lift heavy weights.
For comparison purposes, the sport band makes my wrist sweat lightly almost as soon as I put it on, unless it's cold outside. I bought my first sport loop after one workout with the sport band.
