Marco: I've been testing about on amazon trying to find a so they a silicon or silicone whatever i always get wrong a quasi plastic solo loop. But meanwhile my friends Spencer for a belated birthday gift the same Spencer you guys know sent me a couple of knockoff braided solo loop bands. Marco: So far these are really really nice and they don't seem to suck in water or you know moisture as much as i would have expected. The material seems good like it's comfortable but yeah i can't in with an honest heart recommend either unless you're looking to replace them every six months to a year depending on your particular use case.
