Everest or Rubber B

I am looking to put a rubber strap on a sub. Which would you recommend? They look similar to me.

Everest are the best, the quality of rubber and fit is just amazing. I've owned both version and would highly recommend Everest

I have a sub on an Everest and I absolutely love it. I will likely never go back to steel. Did I mention I love it? Here's a pic.

Both well overpriced for what they are IMHO.

I had a Rubber B for a couple of years on my Sub. It bought my old sub back to life. Super comfy when playing golf.

Never liked the look of Everest, looks cheap imo.

Recommend Rubber B. Don't too much like the look of Everest the rubber is too thick and gummy like.

The fact that its the only one Swiss made, is the main reason I took a risk and put a RB on my YM.
