I bought 3 nato straps from 3 different brands ranging in price to sample the market. This strap seemed to be the best value as it is supposed to come with a spring bars AND a spring bar tool, but I never received the tool with my purchase. On top of that, this was the most uncomfortable strap out of the 3. It's itchy and stiff, and as a result tends to dig into the skin. The hole I was sizing to fit my wrist started to fray at the end of the first days use. For ONE dollar more I found a much nicer strap that had none of these problems. The best by far was around $15 and was of a superior material and hardware which will really pay off in the long run. Needless to say, the $15 strap gets worn  90% of the time whereas this Barron Watch Company strap is getting tossed.
