I used to use a Ted Su diver strap, they are amazing. You can buy tham with the tang buckle for about $60. I plan on picking up another real soon, great summer strap.

OEM Accordian rubber strap. Very comfortable and looks great.

NATO strap... get it wet and let it dry.

europelli makes some waterproof horween cordovan leather straps I believe, also Maratac straps are good. There is an OEM nylon dive strap as well.

NATO strap, or any other rubber strap. Anything that's not leather is great.

dirk straps are fantastic.

dirks makes fantastic waterproof straps. He usually has a link on paneristi. His service is great as well.

Another plus 1 for the Ted Su dive strap. Currently in Hawaii with it, getting it wet every day and no problems drying. Very comfy.
